01 / About

Engineering mobile products where trust is the feature.

I joined Al Mulla Exchange as its first and only mobile developer and built the mobile department from the ground up. Today I lead the team behind native and Flutter apps that move money across borders for thousands of expatriates — with security, multi-tenancy and internationalisation designed in from day one.

Security & Authentication

Secure request signing with HMAC, session-token transactions, SSL certificate validation, biometric (Face ID / fingerprint) login and an offline OTP authenticator that replaced costly SMS.
