Ahmed.
I'm a developer who's spent 10+ years writing code that ships — AI, full-stack, the messy parts in between. Some at work, some on my own.

I write AI and full-stack code that runs in production — and I've been doing it long enough to know which corners not to cut.
I've been writing software for over a decade — currently as a Principal Engineer building AI and full-stack products that run at real scale on Azure and cloud platforms (think 3M+ documents/month, trained on data from 120+ countries). When I'm not at the day job, I build my own things end-to-end as a freelancer and founder — from AI video pipelines to event-photo platforms and smart contracts.
Engineering range
Fluent across generations and scales of compute — from Windows 2000-era 128 MB systems to Apple M4 silicon and 256 GB+ many-core enterprise servers; equally at home in traditional infrastructure, cloud, HPC, and GPU-accelerated AI environments.

Real products I've designed and built in my day job — running in production at SBI Cards, VISA, Standard Chartered and other banks.
Side projects and freelance work I've designed, coded, and shipped end-to-end — nights, weekends, and a lot of coffee.

Leadership
Designed and delivered a complete banking portal — 100+ Figma screens in two nights — to meet an aggressive deadline.
Drove the organization's migration from Windows to Linux infrastructure, improving stability and operational efficiency.
Championed and rolled out a modern tech stack across the Abu Dhabi engineering hub — Node.js, React, Python, Mongo, Postgres, Docker, Kubernetes.
Planned and executed the migration of 30+ production servers to AWS in 5 days with minimal downtime.
Regained control of a compromised production website, restored operations, and hardened security to prevent recurrence.
A decade of shipping, leading, and modernizing engineering — from web dev to principal AI lead.
Principal Software Development Engineer
Senior technical leadership — architecture, AI delivery, and engineering standards across full-stack teams.
- Led architecture and end-to-end delivery of production AI and full-stack products for identity-verification and document-automation platforms.
- Pioneered Generative AI capabilities — RAG, agentic & multi-agent workflows (MCP, LangGraph), fine-tuning, LLM evaluation & monitoring.
- Set technical direction and mentored engineers within regulated (RBI, SOC) environments.
