CTO • Full-Stack • Infra • AI
Available for consulting • architecture • performance & reliability

CTO who ships product, scales systems , and sweats details.

I build and lead teams delivering high-impact SaaS: real-estate CRM platforms, data pipelines, and AI/LLM tooling. Hands-on across the stack — from Rust services and Vue dashboards to Kubernetes, observability, and security.

Projects

Mindall CRM — Off-Plan Platform

Real-estate CRM + Off-Plan modules designed for the UAE market (developers, brokers, teams).

SaaS
  • • Structured data ingestion, validation workflow, and “reviewed vs latest” model.
  • • Search/indexing strategy for high-volume listing data.
  • • Secure file storage patterns + access control (S3/MinIO-style).

Brochure Generator (Rust)

Concurrent request handling with queued workers: downloads assets, converts images, renders Typst templates to PDF.

Rust
  • • Tokio + Axum service with controlled concurrency and backpressure.
  • • Image pipeline (format enforcement, conversion, performance tuning).
  • • Deterministic PDF output with robust error handling and tracing.

PocketLLM Portal

LLM chat + model registry with local GGUF/llama.cpp models and external tool servers (MCP).

AI
  • • Token accounting, streaming outputs, and quota/scheduling concepts.
  • • Model packaging via OCI containers and ops-friendly deployment.
  • • Tool calling via MCP servers with observable traces/metrics.
