About

The combination is the differentiator.

Most technical project managers can't engage substantively with engineers; most engineers can't run governance on a complex programme. I do both - software engineering depth across Node, Python, and AI/RAG systems, paired with PMP-grounded delivery discipline. The work is better for it.

I work in Arabic, English, and French, across UAE government and private-sector contexts. PMP certified; Microsoft AI Product Manager in progress.
