Running
Long, unhurried runs around Riyadh in the cooler months. It's where I do my clearest thinking about hard architecture problems.
Beyond Work
The other things.
A short window into what I care about when I'm not in a pre-sales meeting or a runbook review.
Hiking
Weekend trails in the Sarawat and Hijaz mountains. Elevation, silence, and no notifications — the best possible reset.
Tech in general
Cloud, AI, and how the two are reshaping how organisations build. I read papers, tinker with new models, and follow the platforms shipping the interesting work.
The long view
I'm interested in infrastructure that lasts — decisions that will still make sense in five years. That extends past work: cars, watches, and objects with clear intent.
