I've spent the last 15 years building enterprise platforms, primarily in telecom - from an engineer at Virtusa serving British Telecom Openreach, through progressively senior roles, to CTO at Arimac Digital, where I led delivery for operators including du, Ooredoo, and Vodafone across Europe, MENA, South Asia, and the Pacific.
I prefer staying close to the systems I design, especially when they're under load and the abstractions start to break.
I contribute to Spring Cloud Netflix, Spring Boot, Jasypt Spring Boot, and Debezium.
Today I'm the founder and principal architect of Asymm Systems, building Organization-as-Code - expressing an organization's compliance, governance, operational and functional architecture as code, validated at build time rather than at audit time. We call it Compliance-by-Compilation. Our first product, Eliya, is an OpenJDK 25 LTS distribution for compliance-conscious industries, already shipped and part of the JVM ecosystem's tooling.
