About
Built across the boundary between business and technology.
A founder-operator with hands-on experience across AI systems, robotics deployments, digital products and business operations, based in Dubai.
The work has consistently sat between disciplines: hardware and software, product and operations, technical possibility and commercial reality.
Live robotics provided the foundation. Events, exhibitions and public activations demanded fast decisions, practical troubleshooting and systems that could perform under real conditions.
Products and ventures added another layer: customers, revenue, partnerships, teams and the consequences of technical decisions beyond the build itself.
Today, that combined perspective is applied across AI, workflow automation, robotics and technical initiatives that need both architecture and ownership.
The common thread in my work is the ability to see the whole system, connect the people and technology inside it, and carry the decision through to use.
