I love building stuff, currently working as a Principal Engineer in Careem on experimentation, optimization and machine learning platforms. Prior to Careem, I worked as Head of Data Science in AirAsia and as a Principal Engineer in Grab, the super app of South East Asia where we built Product Insights & Experimentation Platforms amongst other things. I also obtained a PhD in Computer Science and Human-Computer Interaction with Trinity College Dublin & IBM Research, and worked as an engineer at various successful companies in Europe, building things like online gaming platforms, autonomous helicopters, or particle/matter collision simulators!
🚀 Distributed Systems I have designed and open-sourced
- emitter-io/emitter - high performance, distributed and low latency publish-subscribe platform
