Expertise

The full commerce stack, led end to end

I have built and led products at every layer of commerce: the factory floor, the purchase order, the ledger, the warehouse, the storefront, the store and the delivered parcel. Across more than 1,000 brands, marketplaces and partners, and more than 500 channels and integrations, one lesson holds. Systems rarely fail on their own. They fail when two of them disagree and nobody decided in advance which one wins.

Five layers, one contract: integrations over APIs and EDI connect every layer.

Applied AI

AI built into the commerce chain

I do not treat AI as a feature to bolt on. I put it where commerce makes or loses money, and I hold it to the same standard as the systems around it: measured on completed work, checked against the source and owned in production.

  • Catalogue

    Enrichment at production grade: taxonomies, attribute schemas, bilingual English and Arabic content and quality control pipelines that make every listing marketplace-ready.

  • Payments

    AI-assisted contextual matching for the transactions that bank references and amounts cannot settle, so leakage is found before the month closes.

  • Store

    AI skin analysis and AR virtual try-on that turn a shelf into a consultation, backed by a documented science and methodology.

  • Intelligence

    A composable weekly intelligence layer that reads across an entire commerce suite from one unified data lake.

  • Strategy

    AI-run competitive teardowns, gap analyses and market maps, checked claim by claim against primary sources.

  • Delivery

    Agent-built prototypes on the buyer's own data before anyone signs, and agent-built products in production after.

Sectors

The same chain runs through every sector. What changes is the unit of stock, the shape of the price and the rules of the trade.

Banking, fintech and credit

Fluent in the money behind every order

I know the money side of commerce end to end, and how each piece plugs into consumer and business products.

  • Banking and settlement. Bank and gateway settlements, reference-based matching and the reconciliation that closes the books.

  • Credit management. Credit limits, terms and exposure for B2B buyers, and the controls that stop a limit from breaking at checkout.

  • Payments. Gateways, wallets, cards, UPI, buy now pay later and cash on delivery, from authorisation to remittance.

  • Marketplace finance. Commissions, fees, taxes and payouts, including India's TCS and TDS rules for marketplace sellers.

Markets

Delivered across seven markets

  • India
  • Middle East
  • South East Asia
  • Hong Kong
  • South Africa
  • United States

Capabilities

Beyond the stack

  • Enterprise pre-sales

    System study, fit table, prototype. An 80 per cent conversion rate across more than ten multinational brands.

  • AI at every stage

    From verifying a single answer to shaping how a whole organisation works with AI. I work at all ten stages.

  • Product leadership

    One roadmap across several business owners, carried through engineering, design, business, marketing, finance and legal.

  • People leadership

    More than 100 people led, directly and through the leaders who report to me. One outcome per team, and leads who grow leaders of their own.

  • Escalation ownership

    The hardest customer escalations stop with me, and each one closes with a fix to the product as well as to the account.

  • Builder and programmer

    More than 20 products designed and delivered end to end with engineering teams, and the most recent built myself with AI agents.

Work with me

Let's build what comes next.

I work with operators, product leaders and founders on commerce platforms, marketplaces and building with AI. A short conversation is the fastest way to find out whether I can help.
