I lead a multi-team engineering organization at AW Rostamani Group — one of the UAE's
largest privately held conglomerates — a 15+ person organization structured into five squads, each with
a team lead who runs 1:1s and performance reviews for their squad, serving three business units. I own
engineering strategy, architecture governance, hiring, performance, vendor decisions and cost
optimization, and I am accountable for Connect, the group's digital service channel, whose monthly
active users have grown from 7K to 20K and monthly bookings from 2,700 to 6,000 since August 2024.
The path here: shipping award-winning iOS apps for the Dubai government, then leading a
15-engineer distributed team building a regulated health-intelligence platform in Vienna,
then owning technical direction for an AI/IoT startup — three countries, four industries, one constant:
teams that ship predictably.
What keeps me in this work is watching engineers become leaders — the team lead who used to be the
quiet senior dev, the platform that outlives its first roadmap. I'd rather build clarity and ownership
than be the smartest person in the room.
