I lead cloud and security infrastructure for enterprises in the UAE. A decade of designing systems that hold up under scrutiny, built around Microsoft Azure, Zero Trust, and the kind of operational discipline that only gets noticed when it isn’t there.
Most companies treat IT infrastructure as overhead. The strongest organisations recognise it as load-bearing.
Whatever you build today, the business will live with for the next ten years. Build it carefully. Trust before scale, always.
Over the past decade in the UAE, I have built cybersecurity programmes from scratch, migrated thousands of users to Microsoft 365, designed greenfield Azure environments, and rolled out Zero Trust architectures. Today I lead infrastructure and cloud for a multi-entity holding group, where the design decisions are mine to make from day one rather than inherit.
My role sits between the people building the systems and the people funding them. The work, in either direction, is keeping technical reality and commercial intent properly connected.
The tools and platforms behind the work. Selected from production environments, not coursework.
A decade across UAE enterprises. Most recent first.
Leading infrastructure and cloud across a multi-entity holding group. A greenfield environment, designed from the ground up on Microsoft’s full enterprise stack.
Deployed the full M365 and Azure security stack and led a datacentre modernisation in parallel.
Credentials across information security, Microsoft cloud, networking, and Linux engineering.
A selection of work I take pride in. Engineered to keep running long after the launch.
Open to advisory engagements, architecture conversations, and remote consulting. Based in the UAE.
