Product guy with 6+ years shipping Web3, AI, and gamified fintech in Dubai 🇦🇪 and the UK 🇬🇧. Launched products that hit 1M users. I build bold, scalable tech that actually works.
I'm a Technical Product Manager with deep experience across AI, Web3 and fintech, now focused on building responsible AI products in regulated environments. Based in Cambridge, I lead the vision, strategy and delivery of AI-powered services at scale across OCR and Cambridge International.
Previously in Dubai, I led technical product initiatives at Exinity, launching products from skill-based trading apps used by over 1M users to AI trading engines trained on 20 years of market data.
I blend strong technical depth with user-first product thinking, turning complex systems into trusted, intuitive tools. I thrive on delivering AI products that scale, comply and create real-world impact.
