About
Asking the right questions before touching anything.
I like solving real problems with technology, not just deploying tools for the sake of it. What excites me most about cloud is the ability to combine infrastructure, security, and automation into a platform that just works — and scales without constant firefighting.
I spent four years inside one of Saudi Arabia's largest private cloud environments — 300 ESXi hosts, 4,000+ VMs, core banking systems running on infrastructure I was responsible for daily. That's not a line on a CV; it's the kind of experience that teaches you what actually breaks at scale, and how to design systems that don't.
That operator's background shapes how I approach every engagement now. I have an engineer's respect for complexity and an architect's discipline in keeping things simple to run. I'm focused on helping enterprises design cloud platforms — across OCI, GCP, and VMware — that don't require constant firefighting two years in.
I studied Computer Network Systems Engineering at Jubail Industrial College, graduating First Honour with a GPA of 4.85. I trained at Saudi Aramco, ran infrastructure at Alrajhi Bank, led OCI operations at Banque Misr, and now work in pre-sales and solution architecture at SITE — designing for enterprises across the KSA.
Outside work, I run. Consistently. It keeps me honest about what discipline actually looks like. See what I've been up to →
