Usman Ghani
Engineering Leader & Product Builder
I lead engineering teams, consult on architecture and ERP/business systems, and build my own products.
15+ years across full-stack development and technical leadership — currently Lead Engineer at EventMobi, previously architect and consultant on multi-tenant SaaS and government digital transformation, and founder of Pebble, Cricnix, and Sandooq.
What I do
Three tracks, one engineer
Employee, consultant, and founder — the same engineering judgment applied three ways.
Engineering Leadership
Lead Engineer at EventMobi — running team operations, providing technical guidance, and building consensus on complex decisions across cross-functional, multi-timezone teams.
- —Shipped an AI-powered event chatbot
- —Cut engineering effort 70% with a branded-app builder
- —Mentoring and engineering standards
Architecture & ERP Consulting
Architecture reviews, multi-tenant SaaS design, and ERP implementation — from SAP- and Microsoft Dynamics-inspired custom ERPs for Gulf enterprises to a full SMB ERP of my own. I know the domain any ERP platform implements: the modules, the accounting core, and the processes underneath.
- —Custom ERPs modeled on SAP & MS Dynamics patterns
- —Multi-tenant SaaS architecture (Gama Suite)
- —Province-scale government digitization
Founder & Products
Building my own products end-to-end — product thinking, architecture, mobile and backend engineering, cloud operations, and everything in between.
- —Pebble — mobile-first ERP for SMBs
- —Cricnix — cricket platform since 2019
- —Sandooq — community fund manager

Services
Work with me
Consulting engagements I take on alongside my full-time role and products.
Architecture review
A focused audit of your system — scalability, tenant isolation, service boundaries, and delivery bottlenecks — with a concrete, prioritized improvement plan.
ERP implementation & business systems
Process mapping, module scoping, implementation, data migration, and integrations — experience spanning SAP- and Microsoft Dynamics-inspired custom ERPs and my own multi-tenant SMB ERP, from retail POS to manufacturing.
Fractional tech lead
Ongoing technical leadership for your team: architecture decisions, code-quality standards, delivery process, and mentoring — without a full-time hire.
Product build for founders
From idea to shipped product — mobile-first apps with a pragmatic cloud backend, built the same way I build my own: small, fast, and maintainable.
