Senior🎓
Top SchoolEhab Al-hakawati is a senior technology leader based in Riyadh with nearly 20 years of end-to-end software engineering and cloud infrastructure experience, and a decade in senior leadership roles. He has led engineering organizations across MENA and the U.S., modernizing legacy stacks into cloud-native platforms, driving CI/CD adoption, and maintaining high-availability systems for e-commerce, FinTech, and PropTech. As Director of Engineering at Boutiqaat and now leading Gathern’s IPO-focused tech transformation, he blends hands-on architecture work (microservices, Kubernetes, Kafka) with strategic stakeholder alignment, compliance (ISO 27001, SOX), and data-driven product narratives. He has a proven track record of scaling distributed teams, optimizing delivery through OKRs and team audits, and improving operational efficiency to meet aggressive business milestones. Comfortable moving between Java, Node, PHP and data tooling, he often brings performance-first thinking from early projects (search, OCR, SWIFT integrations) into modern cloud designs. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic builder who translates complex technical debt into measurable business value.
