  1. Senior Software Engineer

    CoinRoutes.com · Dubai, UAE

    Aug 2024 — Present
    • Built ultra-low-latency trading algorithms with sub-100 ms execution, letting traders capture spreads and move high volume on limited collateral.
    • Designed advanced order types as a quant developer — smart post orders that reprice against the live book, spread orders and pair orders — driven off real-time L2 depth-of-book data.
    • Built a real-time risk-management system that evaluates and restricts orders in under 1 ms across multiple configurable parameters.
    • Migrated performance-critical components from Python to Rust via AI-assisted development with Claude, improving execution speed and memory safety.
    • Maintain high-availability L2 market-data connections across tier-1 CEXs, DEXs and liquidity providers using Python asyncio, instrumented with Grafana and PagerDuty.
    • Converted inter-service transport from WebSocket to gRPC + Protobuf, cutting inter-service latency 30%+ off a ~35 ms baseline.
    • Engineered a real-time PnL module computing hourly profit/loss per trading account, using Celery for scheduled and async processing.
    • Implemented request signing and auth for exchange connectivity — JWT signing and per-exchange signature schemes across REST and WebSocket.

  2. Full Stack Engineer

    Katim LLC · Abu Dhabi, UAE

    Oct 2022 — Aug 2024
    • Led development of RESTful APIs in Java / Spring Boot for user management, integrating Keycloak with Active Directory for auth and SSO.
    • Built reactive, non-blocking services on Spring WebFlux for high-concurrency request handling.
    • Architected an admin console in React.js integrating REST APIs across five backend microservices.
    • Decoupled the user-management service from the policy engine over Apache Kafka, using Spring Batch for high-volume message loads.
    • Designed RBAC and the console notification system.
    • Deployed microservices on Kubernetes with Helm and Docker — Redis caching, Sentry monitoring, ArgoCD GitOps pipeline.

  3. Software Engineer

    Dubizzle · Dubai, UAE

    Feb 2022 — Oct 2022
    • Engineered feed generation, list-view and detail-view APIs for the Property vertical, serving ~1M+ monthly active users.
    • Built a metadata-driven listing regeneration system on Celery beat refreshing 1,000+ stale listings weekly, plus platform-wide location cleanup for search accuracy — with Grafana dashboards and PagerDuty on job health.
    • Optimized the Algolia-powered property search index for query relevance and response time.

  4. Software Engineer

    Hoo Trading LLC · Dubai, UAE

    Sep 2021 — Feb 2022
    • Built the order-matching engine and trading charts for a crypto derivatives market in Python / Django.
    • Optimized search with Elasticsearch and Algolia, reaching 90% query relevance with faster responses.
    • Integrated UAE payment gateways to widen transaction coverage.
    • Developed scalable Django REST APIs with a React front-end under SOLID, TDD and PEP8 for high coverage.

    Al Ansari Exchange · Dubai, UAE

    Oct 2020 — Sep 2021
    • Developed and maintained the core money-remittance and FX platform in Java.
    • Built bank integrations for real-time cash transfers over REST and SOAP.
    • Engineered mobile backend APIs with Java, Hibernate and JSP.
    • Implemented KYC and AML compliance rules in application code and stored procedures.
    • Delivered an internal monitoring tool letting the AML team validate transaction integrity in real time.

  6. Project Engineer

    Wipro Technologies Ltd · Bangalore, India

    Jul 2016 — Mar 2020
    • Designed and built a travel and expense-management system in Java Spring with MongoDB.
    • Developed a Drools rule engine for dynamic, policy-driven organizational workflows.
    • Built Azure Data Factory pipelines over Azure Service Bus, plus a bidirectional SQL/NoSQL migration tool.
    • Applied logarithmic regression in Python to cut flight-booking costs by 12%.
    • Built and integrated a Power BI analytics dashboard via the JavaScript SDK.

[BIO] ARCHITECT_STORY

cat bio.txt | grep "core"

> Senior Backend Engineer — low-latency systems & crypto trading specialist.

I build the parts of a system where latency is a product feature and correctness is non-negotiable. Ten years in, that has meant matching engines and execution algorithms, pre-trade risk gates measured in microseconds, market-data pipes that cannot drop, and the event-driven backends underneath them.

The path ran through enterprise Java at Wipro, regulated money movement and AML at Al Ansari Exchange, crypto derivatives at Hoo, marketplace scale at Dubizzle, secure identity infrastructure at Katim, and now quantitative execution at CoinRoutes. Different domains, one habit: understand the constraint, then design to it.

Lately a lot of that work is AI-assisted — using coding agents to move performance-critical Python into Rust, to generate tests, and to keep review tight without slowing delivery.
