Bridging software engineering precision with business strategy to deliver scalable, high-impact systems.
Based in Berlin with a background in software engineering and an M.Sc. in Engineering Management (Distinction), I lead cross-functional engineering teams from concept to deployment. I translate complex architectural roadmaps into predictable delivery: defining technical scope, protecting budgets, eliminating engineering bottlenecks, and maintaining clear visibility for executive stakeholders. Combining consulting rigour with hands-on technical grounding, my work centres on building reliable platforms, driving down operational costs by 10%, and reducing system downtime by 20%.

01What I do
An engineering background that lets me hold a technical conversation, and the management side that turns it into a plan someone can approve.
Owning a roadmap end to end with enough software literacy to challenge the estimate. Sprint planning, dependency management, technical debt decisions, and infrastructure work that keeps systems available.
Turning engineering detail into something a client or a board can decide on. Running the relationships and the room: cross-department dependencies, multicultural teams, and public-facing programmes.

2020
The Great Lab Grand Design Challenge, CREST
A four-person team from UTM and University of Malaya built a chemical-free weeding system for paddy fields: a drone that scans and classifies weeds through object-based image analysis, paired with a ground robot that removes them mechanically. Six months, four competition stages, RM 1,000 in prize money. I was a first-year software engineering student on the team.

ISS-Yemen at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia
ISS-Yemen led the organisation of Arabic Culture Day with societies from Egypt, Palestine, Syria, Libya, Iraq, Sudan and Algeria. Held at Dewan Sultan Iskandar on 17 December 2022, it ran as a free daytime exhibition of country booths, food and traditional dance from 9am, followed by a ticketed evening ceremony with performances from each country, dinner, prize giving and sponsors. More than 1,250 guests attended, including university staff and VIPs.
UTM NewsHub2023
ATU-Net Global Technovation Hackathon, hosted by Universiti Teknologi Malaysia
GTech 2023 ran at UTM from 28 to 30 August on the theme of innovation against climate change. Thirty-two participants from ten institutions across Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, the Philippines and Vietnam were mixed into eight international teams. Our team built Zip-tech, a cable-suspended drone for farm monitoring and targeted distribution of fertiliser and pesticide, and took third place.

Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University
I led a UTM team through an international entrepreneurship competition. Of 114 entered teams, ten reached the final pitch round and ours took an Excellence Prize. My part was assembling the team, shaping the idea into a pitch, and presenting it.
XJTLU News2023
UTM International, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia · as President of ISS-Central
Awarded by the Director of UTM International for service and executive leadership as President of ISS-Central, the university's central international student body, over a one-year term. The role covered representing international students to the administration and to external partners, coordinating between the national societies on campus, and running the shared programme of cultural and academic events. It was a separate office from my role with ISS-Yemen.
06In the room
A cover and two-page spread I designed and wrote about ZipTech, the cable-suspended agricultural drone my team built for GTech 2023. Layout, cover composition, copy and photo selection are all mine. It is a self-published piece, made to explain the project to a non-technical audience.
The writing had to carry the engineering without losing the reader: ESP32 camera sensors and precision nozzles feeding an automated tank, so the drone reads crop health in real time and sprays only where it is needed rather than blanketing a field.
The problem behind it is a real one in Malaysian paddy farming. Blanket pesticide application wastes chemicals, drives pest resistance and exposes farmers to more than they need to handle. Making that case clearly, in a page and a half, was the actual design brief.
A set of greeting cards: typography, layout and quote selection are mine, set over sourced artwork.
07Toolset
Rated out of five on one scale, so the strong areas and the developing ones are equally visible.
08Outside work
I have spent most of my life somewhere other than where I started, which is where the habit of adapting quickly to new teams came from.
Over 60 countries. Lived in Yemen, Sudan, India, Malaysia, Indonesia and Germany, with shorter stays in Singapore and South America. New cities on foot, no itinerary.
Pencil, ballpoint and watercolour. A slower counterweight to work that runs on deadlines.
Where a lot of the community events I organise ended up going.
The routine that survives however busy a week gets.
Champion of the UTM chess challenge. The one hobby that is pure calculation.
09Get in touch
Happy to talk about permanent roles, a mandatory master's internship, or a specific project you need someone to run. I reply within a day.
