Hands-on engineering. Systems thinking. Human accountability.
PwC Middle East GenAI & Backend Lead
01 / PROFILE
GenAI and backend engineering
I connect solution architecture with hands-on delivery: from Python and FastAPI to cloud infrastructure, agent orchestration, and the teams behind them.
I'm a Squad Lead and GenAI & Backend Lead at PwC Middle East in Dubai. I guide enterprise AI initiatives, review architecture, and build reusable foundations that help teams deliver consistently. My work spans RAG, multi-agent workflows, distributed backends, and infrastructure as code on Microsoft Azure.
Outside work, I build personal software to solve practical problems. The same principles carry across: clear ownership, understandable systems, and recovery that is designed in.

02 / SELECTED WORK
Selected projects
Enterprise systems. Reusable foundations. Personal products.
01 / ENTERPRISE ENGINEERINGPRODUCTION
Enterprise agentic AI
Custom orchestration for AI that can do useful work, with controlled execution and recoverable state.
My enterprise work includes solution architecture and delivery across GenAI initiatives, RAG, multi-agent coordination, and workflow automation.
Recent production work uses a custom agent harness, session-based command execution, and stored snapshots for undo. The emphasis is on explicit execution boundaries and recovery.
A high-level overview; client identities and implementation details are omitted.
02 / DEVELOPER FOUNDATIONSREUSED ACROSS PROJECTS
Reusable FastAPI foundations
Internal FastAPI boilerplates, custom framework extensions, and shared patterns that make good engineering repeatable.
API & schema generationConnection lifecycle managementShared factories & abstractions
FastAPIPydanticBackend architecture
Engineering focus +
I develop and maintain internal backend foundations used across GenAI projects, including custom ODM/ORM wrappers, reusable factories, and schema generation.
My optimization work includes database connection reuse, expiry handling, and orphan cleanup, alongside custom Pydantic-based functionality. Shared foundations let improvements flow through multiple projects.
03 / PERSONAL PROJECTPRIVATE APPLICATION
AreaPilot
A personal finance application for understanding budgets, goals, available cash, and the impact of “what if.”
Financial clarity, built on deterministic calculations.
TypeScriptReactSQLite
Inside the project +
Combines a transaction ledger, budgets, financial goals, scenarios, and reminders. The finance engine is separated from the interface and persistence so calculations remain deterministic.
Built with React, Fastify, TypeScript, and SQLite; deployed privately on Ubuntu. The project includes scheduled backups and verification, with historical records preserved through schema changes.
04 / PERSONAL PROJECTIN DEVELOPMENT
Jarvis
A personal control plane connecting authenticated commands, workstation runners, and everyday automation.
The implemented foundation includes owner authentication, signed commands to a Windows runner, and deployment tooling. Wake-on-LAN is implemented but disabled by default.
Engineering work explores command delivery, acknowledgements, reconnect behavior, idempotency, and backup restoration. The project is under active development.

PwC Jordan
The starting point of my enterprise GenAI engineering career.
AI can accelerate engineering. The people accountable for it still need the judgment to challenge its decisions, recognize mistakes, and recover when things go wrong. That is the standard I bring to the systems and teams I work with.
