// about me

Architecture that serves the business — and the people who build it.

I’m a Software Solution Architect with 20+ years of experience designing and delivering enterprise-grade systems across diverse technologies and industries. For the past nine years I’ve worked with the Saudi Food & Drug Authority (SFDA), first as Technical Lead and now as Solution Architect, building national-scale regulatory platforms and integrations with government entities.

I specialize in microservices, system integration, identity & security, and data-intensive platforms, with deep experience in highly regulated domains such as healthcare, pharmacovigilance, and government services. As a TOGAF®, PMP®, and PSM I certified architect, I connect business strategy with technical execution, and lead cross-functional teams from requirements through to secure, maintainable, high-performing solutions.

Outside work, I build cross-platform mobile apps with Flutter — it keeps my hands on the code and my architecture grounded in reality.
