The Journey

१ · The Palace

Emirates NBD Bank

Senior Technical Consultant

Dubai, UAE · Sep 2024 – Present

Designed and shipped a multi-agent risk-screening and document-analysis system (LangGraph, Anthropic API) with layered guardrails and human-in-the-loop review — automating detection of PEPs, sanctioned parties, and adverse-media entities during corporate onboarding.
Architected an AI-powered microservice generator (Claude Code skill) that ingests Swagger specs, architecture diagrams, and Jira context to produce production-ready full-stack scaffolding, reducing per-service delivery from 4 weeks to 1–2 days (~95% reduction).
Built an architectural-drift detection tool comparing draw.io HLD diagrams against live microservice code to surface design/implementation mismatches before release.
