Rayan Castro is a pragmatic technology leader and founder with 8 years of experience building and scaling engineering teams and products across MENA, the Americas and Asia. Currently Head of Technology at MANO and an investor in NOK Cards, he blends hands-on architecture and data pipeline experience with business-minded delivery, having led cross-border teams and launched multiple products under tight timelines. As CTO of KLAIM.AI he designed Kafka-driven ingestion systems for government medical data and drove an agile transformation; at HortaTech he grew a 25+ team and generated seven-figure client revenue. He has deep roots in developer education—graduating 300+ full‑stack devs as a lead teacher at Le Wagon—so he excels at turning junior engineers into tech leaders. Comfortable operating across product, ops and recruitment, Rayan is as focused on team happiness and career paths as he is on shipping reliable systems.
