Engineering Manager with 12+ years in software engineering, including 4 years building and scaling mobile platforms serving 1M+ users, leading cross-functional teams of 15+ engineers, and delivering systems processing 600k+ monthly transactions. Passionate about building customer-centric products, improving engineering quality through automation and modern development practices, and enabling teams to deliver value continuously through small iterative releases.
<p>Built and evolved self-organised squads aligned to business domains, applying DDD principles to define clear ownership boundaries so teams could make decisions independently, hire for autonomy, and operate without top-down direction.<br>
Scaled from 3 to 15+ engineers with no proportional increase in management overhead.<br>
Set up async communication norms, structured sprint cycles, and cross-timezone ways of working that improved execution efficiency by 20% without adding overhead.<br>
Grew the engineering domain using a BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) model, hiring through international vendors across mobile and backend, then converting the best performers into full-time roles.<br>
Guided engineers through consistent 1:1s, growth-focused feedback, and career development plans, maintaining 85%+ retention over 24 months in a highly competitive market.<br>
Migrated mobile and backend teams to continuous delivery with short-lived branches, automated quality gates, and feature flag-driven rollouts, enabling weekly shipping cadence and reducing time-to-production by 30%.<br>
Increased delivery velocity by 30% by driving adoption of XP practices (pair programming, TDD) and automated testing pipelines, reducing release cycles from weeks to days.<br>
Introduced test-first development for critical user journeys, lightweight code reviews, and pair-debugging sessions on complex features. Production defect rate dropped by 35% and code review turnaround improved by 40%.<br>
Set a yearly technical roadmap for Android and iOS covering architecture standards, code quality, observability, and test automation, resulting in an 8% reduction in crash rate and 38% fewer major release breakages.<br>
Led continuous discovery for the Amazon Prime x CAFU integration through customer interviews, rapid prototyping, and staged rollouts, validating assumptions early and delivering a feature that drove 30%+ customer reactivation and 17% revenue uplift.<br>
Led the build of an AI-powered CAFU PULSE (Operational Analytics Platform) that automated insight generation from live data. It cut decision-making time by 40% and saved multi-million AED in annual operational costs.<br>
Shifted from bi-weekly sprint releases to small-batch continuous deployments using feature flags and automated rollbacks, reducing deployment incidents by 45% and cutting mean time to recover by 50%.<br>
Designed and implemented a centralised API Gateway with authentication, authorisation, rate limiting, and observability, improving system reliability and operational visibility.<br>
Built a fraud governance framework with Ops and Finance that defined risk thresholds, payment validation rules, and escalation processes. Fraud incidents dropped by 18%.<br>
Set SDLC standards across design, development, testing, and release that the whole team followed. Delivery became more predictable without sacrificing stability on live systems.</p>

<p>Modernised the Android and iOS codebases by introducing Jetpack Compose, SwiftUI, RxJava, Dagger/Hilt, and Clean Architecture.<br>
Teams could now work in parallel, merge conflicts dropped significantly, and delivery velocity improved by 20%.<br>
Defined clear service boundaries and data ownership across teams alongside a structured release process, improving release predictability without affecting stability on live systems.<br>
Ran quarterly hackathons to encourage experimentation.<br>
About 25% of those experiments made it to production, including Spot Fuel, which drove a 12% increase in daily active orders.<br>
Worked closely with backend engineers on reliability improvements including caching, async processing, and rate limiting to handle traffic spikes more gracefully.</p>

<p>Helped launch CAFU's first consumer mobile apps on Android and iOS, which grew to 10,000+ daily active users.<br>
Improved app launch time by nearly 30% by optimising the critical rendering path and loading heavy resources lazily.<br>
Reduced app size by over 40% by switching to WebP and vector image formats, removing unused libraries, and cleaning up dependencies.<br>
This improved install rates and overall performance.</p>
