Hands-on CTO.Technology must earn its place.
From leading teams to shipping software, the test is what actually improves.
I lead teams and stay involved in the code, platforms and production systems. I start with the problem, examine the alternatives and change the approach when established practices get in the way. Quality, security and maintainability are not negotiable.
For professional engagements, I work through Omnivya, which I co-founded with Taous and where I serve as CTO.
- Lead and develop engineering teams
- Remove friction from delivery

Examine the options
Choose what fits, even when it challenges established practices.
Prove the change
