London
I design financial and consumer products that people actually want to use. Over the years I've worked across investment platforms at S&P Global, payment and banking apps for Allied Bank, E&Money Dubai, and iPay Vodafone, and shopping experiences for Noon UAE, Khaadi, and iShopping Pakistan, products where the stakes are high, the workflows are complex, and the margin for confusion is zero.
My background spans fintech, banking, e-commerce, and enterprise SaaS across Europe, the Middle East, and South Asia.
