Smart City 01 / 2022–Present
Unified operational platform for UAE federal public safety — connecting 10,000+ government IoT devices across civil defence, police, and traffic enforcement with a single real-time data backbone.
IoT / Edge Solutions Architect & Project Lead
Smart City 02 / 2022–Present
Running reliable AI and ANPR inference across distributed embedded edge units in moving vehicles, then aggregating results into a unified government platform with no tolerance for lost assessments.
IoT / Edge Solutions Architect & Project Lead
Fleet & Mobility 03 / 2022–Present
Designing one backend architecture to normalize, route, and authorize telemetry from vehicles, impound devices, smart parking systems, and inspection units across federal operations.
IoT / Edge Solutions Architect & Project Lead
Agricultural IoT 04 / 2019–2022
Designing solar-powered off-grid sensor nodes for remote agricultural monitoring and the full multi-tenant SaaS platform that aggregated their data — from ultra-low-power embedded firmware to commercial client dashboards in production.

Summary
Unified operational platform for UAE federal public safety — connecting 10,000+ government IoT devices across civil defence, police, and traffic enforcement with a single real-time data backbone.
Stack
Reflection
Establish a device simulator and synthetic load generator before field deployment, not after. Several normalization edge cases — malformed payloads, duplicate event IDs from reconnecting devices, clock drift in field units — only surfaced in production. A proper simulation environment covering those failure modes would have caught them before they reached the audit trail.
Summary
Running reliable AI and ANPR inference across distributed embedded edge units in moving vehicles, then aggregating results into a unified government platform with no tolerance for lost assessments.
Stack
Reflection
Invest earlier in a hardware-in-the-loop test bench that simulates both thermal stress and packet loss. Early field issues were heat-related and could have been reproduced sooner with a more production-faithful lab setup.
Summary
Designing one backend architecture to normalize, route, and authorize telemetry from vehicles, impound devices, smart parking systems, and inspection units across federal operations.
Stack
Reflection
Build the device simulator before field deployment, not after. Several payload-normalization edge cases only appeared when real hardware began publishing malformed or delayed messages in production.
Summary
Designing solar-powered off-grid sensor nodes for remote agricultural monitoring and the full multi-tenant SaaS platform that aggregated their data — from ultra-low-power embedded firmware to commercial client dashboards in production.
Stack
Platform & Field Hardware
Embedded hardware and full-stack projects from the freelance and contract period (2018–2022) — showing depth in low-level firmware, electromechanical integration, and hardware-to-dashboard delivery.
Embedded Systems 05 / 2020–2021
Transforming an industrial JUKI sewing machine into a WiFi-enabled, G-code-driven CNC embroidery system — from blank hardware to sub-millimetre production accuracy.
Embedded Systems Engineer
Embedded IoT 06 / 2019–2020
A tamper-proof fingerprint attendance system — from sensor hardware and RTOS firmware to a role-based web dashboard — deployed across schools and offices with full hardware-to-dashboard delivery.
