A leading national fitness operator across KSA & UAE. As the CTO’s delivery consultant, I lead Cloud Operations — cloud engineers and database administrators — and guide implementation partners through delivery.

• Migrated a live, member-critical application from Azure to AWS for 1M+ users — zero downtime on the control-plane cutover and under 15 minutes on the data plane.
• Led the AWS data-center exit on a Control Tower landing zone: hub-and-spoke connectivity via AWS Transit Gateway, with a controlled FortiGate edge bridging AWS to the corporate SD-WAN so exited workloads stayed reachable across 220+ branches.
• Modernized Azure PaaS to AWS serverless (Lambda + Bref for Laravel) — API Gateway, CloudFront, SQS, S3, DMS, RDS + RDS Proxy, ElastiCache, MongoDB Atlas — driving a major recurring OPEX reduction, and championed the dev team’s shift from monolithic hosting to Lambda.
• Brought generative AI to production on AWS — RAG pipelines and LLM agents on Amazon Bedrock and open-source frameworks, with the data ingestion, retrieval, and guardrail architecture around them.
• Own DevSecOps, observability, and security: migrated observability from IBM Instana to Datadog to cut MTTR, rebuilt the pipeline (GitHub Actions → Jenkins) with split SAST/DAST/SCA and Checkmarx gates, and manage GitHub Enterprise and its integrations.
• Re-platformed the CDN from Cloudflare to AWS CloudFront with zero downtime.
• Partnered with the data team on a decision-support platform (Oracle Fusion on Oracle OLAP): led the evaluation of Microsoft Fabric vs. QuickSight, Athena, and Glue — Fabric was adopted, and I manage its capacity and monitoring as a DataOps stakeholder.
• Authored the Vision 2030 ISV multi-tenant SaaS architecture (tenancy isolation, shared services, VPC Lattice) on an AWS Enterprise Support account with a dedicated TAM — reviewed and endorsed by AWS principal (L7) engineers with no material changes.

Class-1 ranked, top-five KSA construction operator.

• Ran discovery with stakeholders and produced target-state designs and decision memos with tradeoffs and risk.
• Evaluated low-code direction (Creatio → Mendix on technical fit) and defined the enterprise hosting and operating model.
• Designed and built an on-prem Kubernetes platform for Mendix — Ansible-automated node provisioning, MetalLB load balancing, and enterprise network/security integration.

B2C/B2B construction-procurement startup (later acquired by Albawani).

• Designed scalable AWS architecture for prod/staging/test with account isolation via AWS Organizations.
• Migrated workloads off DigitalOcean/Vultr to AWS, decoupling services to remove single points of failure.
• Ran load/stress tests (JMeter, ApacheBench) and delivered an exec-ready performance comparison report.

US-headquartered education SaaS delivered across Egypt — a faculty-to-student platform and a university/school ERP, serving 30K+ active users at 6 universities and 2 schools.

• Promoted to Technical Lead; led modernization of a monolithic PHP/Laravel SaaS toward AWS.
• Reduced infrastructure running costs by 55% by re-architecting hosting and automating deployments via Jenkins.
• Drove serverless adoption — refactored Laravel components to Lambda with Bref and enabled the team via demos/KT.
• Introduced governance automation with CloudCustodian + SES/SNS for tagging enforcement and cost control.

CRM & e-commerce delivery.

• Introduced practical design patterns and refactoring that reduced boilerplate and improved maintainability.
• Designed reusable internal modules shared across multiple client projects; acted as a primary client-facing engineer.
