Fractional CTO, AI & MVP Development
for Founders in Dubai and Beyond
An independent software engineer based in Dubai with 20+ years of experience. I help startups build AI-powered products, launch MVPs fast, and get senior technical leadership — without the full-time cost.
My experience spans AI, FinTech, blockchain, Web3, PropTech, and EduTech. I make complex technology approachable for non-technical founders while delivering the depth that technical teams need. I work with startups and growing businesses who need a trusted technical partner — not another agency that disappears after delivery. Read my story.

From strategy to deployment. I help you identify where AI creates real value, then build the solution end-to-end — chatbots, document processing, LLM integrations, and more.
- Conversational AI & intelligent chatbots
- Document processing & data extraction
- LLM integration & custom AI models
- Smart automation
Turn your startup idea into a working product in weeks, not months. Clean architecture from day one that scales when you're ready — no rewrites needed.
- Full-stack product in 4-8 weeks

Senior technical leadership without the $300K+ salary. Architecture decisions, team hiring, code reviews, and tech strategy — as much or as little as you need.
- Architecture decisions & code reviews
- Team hiring, onboarding & management
- Tech strategy & roadmap planning
