Hi 👋, I'm Islam

I’m a product design leader specializing in AI and enterprise platforms.

Over the past 18 years, I’ve worked across product strategy, design, and engineering to modernize one of the world’s leading asset management suites at IBM, where I led a 12-person design team across 7 products on a $500M portfolio. I’ve piloted emerging technologies like AI and blockchain to cut a 3-day financial review task down to 2.5 hours, and designed mission-critical enterprise systems that process more than $1 trillion in transactions every year.

Along the way, I’ve grown design teams and practices from the ground up and built a reputation for using research and data to change what gets on the roadmap, not just how it looks.
