I lead the engineering team behind a B2B SaaS employee advocacy platform with 100,000+ users.
I own the backend architecture with the CTO, run delivery from planning to release, and still build: the statistics behind every customer dashboard and the Microsoft Entra ID user sync are my work. On the platform since 2017, leading its engineering team since 2020.
I helped build this platform and lead its backend today. Enterprises across Europe rely on it. To name a few:
Designed, built and own the statistics behind every customer dashboard: impressions, clicks, engagement, adoption and earned media value (EMV).
Led and co-built AutoFlow, the send-out automation where an admin sets up a flow once and the platform picks content per recipient, holds it for review, locks it and sends it by email, Microsoft Teams or Slack.
Built the Microsoft Entra ID user sync that enterprise customers need before rollout: admin consent, scheduled import of users, groups and departments through Microsoft Graph, and safe offboarding of leavers, with Microsoft single sign-on alongside it.
Run agentic workflows in Claude Code every day and brought them into the team's delivery: built the skills that take a ClickUp task to a spec, a fix and a merge request, and run an agent that drives the AI code review on merge requests.
Introduced spec-driven development to the team in February 2026 with OpenSpec and GitHub Spec Kit, so AI-assisted work started from a reviewed spec, and had fixes merged into GitHub's own Spec Kit.
Built AutoFlow's opt-in AI subject lines and preview text on an LLM API, with an admin approving every suggestion before it goes live, and led the product's other AI features: titles, descriptions and suggested share text.
I lead the engineering team at Sociuu across backend, frontend and QA, and I have been on the platform since 2017. It is a B2B SaaS employee advocacy platform used by companies such as Vattenfall, TDC, NTT DATA, Auto Trader and CACI.
I plan the work with the CTO and own the backend architecture. I designed, built and own the statistics behind every customer dashboard, led and co-built AutoFlow, our send-out automation, and built the Microsoft Entra ID user sync that enterprise customers need before rollout. I brought AI into the product and into the team: AI subject lines in AutoFlow, and agent workflows in Claude Code, in my work every day and in the team's delivery.

Co-Founder at Sociuu - Employee Advocacy made simple! #EmployeeAdvocacy
I had a pleasure to work with Zaheer for one of Swedish customers in retail. Together we worked on Webshop solution which included SAP as backend (this was my part) and Magento as front-end (Zaheer's part). Zaheer was a good communicator with customer-oriented approach. He was fast to answer any of the requests from customer, and work with him was very effective. Zaheer showed his excellent ability to design and implement Magento solution, which makes him an ideal Magento architect and developer. Would recommend working with him.
