Software engineer at Amazon.Tech leader.Cross-vertical builder.
16 years shipping multi-stack systems — across Big Tech and a long line of startup engineering roles in fintech, AI, B2B SaaS, data platforms, mobile, AR, geospatial, healthtech, clean energy, and logistics. I write at The Builder Notebook about AI in production, distributed systems, and what it actually takes to ship things that hold up.
Where I've shipped systems.
10 vertical domains. Big Tech architecture to rapid 0→1 builds. Multi-stack production since 2010.
Fintech & Payments
Payment platforms, escrow systems, multi-party settlement engines, AI fraud detection at production scale.
AI / Machine Learning
Production AI: NLP (Arabic-focus), fraud detection, news intelligence, agentic workflows, evals + cost optimization.
B2B SaaS & Marketplaces
Big Tech B2B quoting engines, multi-region marketplace platforms, custom catalogs at scale.
Data Platforms
Real-time + batch pipelines: Kafka, Spark, Druid, ML feature stores, BI integration (Power BI, Superset).
Mobile & AR
Native iOS + Android since 2011. ARKit games, location-based mobile, custom game engines.
Geospatial & Mapping
Lambda-architecture traffic estimation, indoor positioning, PostGIS-backed spatial queries, mobile sensor SDKs.
From The Builder Notebook.
The publication is the canonical home for technical essays and system breakdowns. We link directly to the library.
Production AI & NLP
Deep-dives into large scale vector search, Arabic natural language pipelines, agentic workflows, and production-level machine learning evals.
Distributed Architecture
Escrow systems, event-driven ledger syncs, Kafka-based message buses, and optimizing cold database paths under transactional loads.
0→1 Builder-Grade
Technical decision frameworks for founders, bare-metal server tradeoffs, building secure compliance frameworks, and high-performance stacks.

One deep-dive a month. No filler, no growth-hacking, no “10 ways to X”. Just the thing I actually shipped, broke, or rebuilt — and what I learned.
