I build systems where data moves reliably, infrastructure is a competitive advantage, and solid engineering underneath makes everything above it possible.
I'm a fullstack software engineer with a strong pull toward backend systems and infrastructure. For the past two years I've been one of the core engineers on Aleria — an AI data platform for C-level decision-making at IHC, one of the UAE's largest investment holdings. My work spans the entire system: real-time WebSocket communication, object storage, identity management, observability, and production deployments across enterprise client environments.
I'm drawn to problems where reliability and correctness matter more than cleverness. I proposed and implemented our observability stack when production was effectively a black box. When workers needed guaranteed message delivery without adding a message broker, I designed the reconnect protocol myself. When the team needed frontend velocity, I learned React and took on fullstack tickets. I find the most satisfaction in the moments where engineering judgment — not just execution — makes a real difference.
I started in Paris, built the product through its early stages, and relocated to Abu Dhabi after the acquisition. Speaking Russian natively, English and French fluently, and working across three time zones has sharpened how I think about clarity — in both communication and code. I'm now looking for an environment where the technical problems are genuinely hard and the team takes craft seriously.
Aleria is an AI product that surfaces structured intelligence from large volumes of enterprise data for C-suite decision-making. I work across the full stack of the application layer: real-time communication, identity, storage, observability, and client-facing deployments in complex enterprise network environments.
Joined as an early engineer at a Parisian data startup building the product that would later become Aleria. Small team, broad ownership — I touched everything from backend architecture to deployment scripts. The company was acquired by IHC in September 2024; the team relocated to Abu Dhabi to continue development at enterprise scale.
An honest map of my toolkit — what I can go deep on in a system design conversation, what I use comfortably in production, and what I've worked with but wouldn't claim as a strength.
I'm starting to write about problems I've actually solved — not tutorials, but engineering trade-offs and decisions made under real constraints. Coming soon.
I'm looking for product engineering roles where the problems are real and the craft is taken seriously — fintech, infrastructure, data platforms. Remote-friendly or UAE-based. Happy to talk about distributed systems, WebSocket architecture, or what it's actually like to relocate from Paris to Abu Dhabi mid-project.
