Founder, Yalla Digital
Head of IT, Global Star Group · Computer Engineer
Technology should not add complexity. It should create clarity, improve control and make an organisation work better.
My background is in computer engineering, information technology, enterprise systems and digital transformation. I have always approached technology from a practical perspective: understand the real operating problem first, then design the right technology around it.
Through my work leading IT and digital initiatives at Global Star Group, I have been involved in building and connecting business systems, infrastructure, data platforms, integrations and technology projects across different operating environments in the GCC. That experience has shaped how I think about leadership, engineering and digital transformation.
That philosophy is a major part of why we founded Yalla Digital. I want us to build technology that is ambitious in its vision but practical in its execution. For me, good engineering is about taking complex business problems and turning them into solutions that are simple to use, scalable and capable of creating measurable impact.
