Heytham Al Shayeb Solutions Architect · Principal Engineer
— Core Profile

Architect. Engineer.
Problem Solver.

With over 18 years of hands-on experience, I design and lead the build of distributed, high-performance systems that power mission-critical products in fintech, iGaming, maritime tracking, and cybersecurity.

I thrive at the intersection of deep technical engineering and strategic architectural thinking — from refactoring socket protocols at sea to engineering Git review workflows with Anthropic Claude APIs.
