About
A technology leader who stays close to the work.
For more than ten years I’ve helped organisations build the platforms their business depends on: fast, reliable and secure. I lead the work from the first requirements to delivery, for startups, enterprises and UNICEF. More and more, that means bringing AI into those platforms, safely and where it creates real value. I work in English, French and Arabic.
AI
AI that earns its place.
You don’t need AI everywhere, just in the few places where it saves your team real time. I’ve spent more than ten years building the kind of platforms AI runs on, so I can help you find those places and make it work with what you already have.
Start from the business problem
We begin with your team’s day, not the technology. If people spend hours sorting requests or searching old documents, that’s where a model can help, and we agree how to measure the time saved before I build anything.
Get the data right
An AI assistant is only as good as what it can read. If your customer records are spread across three tools, I connect and sync them first, so its answers are accurate and up to date.
Build on proven models
You don’t need to train your own model. I use established ones, such as those on Hugging Face, and fit them into your platform. That’s how I brought AI into a real-time platform at Locuta.
Keep it secure
An assistant shouldn’t share salary data just because someone asked nicely. AI features follow the same access rules as the rest of your platform, so people only see what they’re allowed to see.
Services
How I help organisations.
Whether you need someone to lead your team or a partner to take a project from idea to launch, I take ownership from start to finish and keep you in the loop along the way.
Applied AI & data
Say your team answers the same customer questions every day, or digs through years of documents for one answer. I can build an assistant that does that for them, on proven models and your own data, with the same security as the rest of your platform.
Technical leadership
You know where the business needs to go. I turn that into a plan your team can follow, then lead them there. For one startup, that meant being tech lead and Scrum Master through a full rebuild of its platform.
Secure, dependable platforms
The systems your customers and staff rely on every day should simply work. I build them so everyone sees exactly what they should and your data stays accurate everywhere, as I did for a platform built to European e‑invoicing standards.
Digital products
Your customer app, your website and the dashboard your team works from should feel like one product, not three. I build web and mobile products that fit together, so customers get a smooth experience and your team works from the same information.
Modernisation
If an older system is holding you back but the business can’t stop while you fix it, I move it forward step by step. At Capgemini, I led the data migration that let an automotive inspection system handle more inspections at once.
Cloud & delivery
Improvements shouldn’t wait weeks for a nervous release day. I set up your cloud and release process so updates reach your users quickly and safely, and are easy to roll back if something goes wrong.
How I work
A clear path from first conversation to launch.
1. Understand
We start by talking, with you and with the people who will use what we build. I want to hear what slows them down today and what success looks like to you, in your own words.
2. Design
Before anything is built, I walk you through the plan: what we’ll build, in what order, and why. You sign off on it, so there are no surprises later.
3. Deliver
Every couple of weeks you see real progress: working features you can try and comment on, not just status reports.
4. Evolve
Launch day isn’t goodbye. I stay on to keep things running smoothly, fix what comes up and add features as your business grows.
