about
I'm a Technical Product Manager with deep experience in Web3, AI and fintech product development.
My work spans from agentic AI trading systems to enterprise Web3 infrastructure, consistently
delivering products that scale to hundreds of thousands of users.
Based in Dubai, I lead technical product initiatives at Exinity, where I've launched
everything from skill-based trading apps that attracted 500K users to
sophisticated AI trading engines powered by 20 years of market data.
My approach blends technical understanding with user-first design, making complex systems
accessible, intuitive and impactful. I thrive on building products at the intersection of
emerging technologies and real-world utility.
