Engineering at the
intersection of scale
and reliability

I'm Mohammad Imran, a backend-focused Java engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience in BFSI — banking, financial services, and insurance. My career spans six companies across India and the UAE, delivering for institutions like Wells Fargo, Citibank, and now RAKBANK Dubai.

"Engineering isn't just writing code — it's understanding the business problem deeply enough to design the right solution."

At RAKBANK, I lead backend development for core banking applications handling millions of daily transactions. I'm equally invested in AI-augmented engineering — using Claude Code, Spring AI, and MCP servers to accelerate refactoring, code review, and architecture exploration on real banking workloads. The future of senior engineering is part craft, part orchestration, and I'm building for it now.
