About Me

I'm Hanzala Qureshi — I build AI products and lead data teams. I have over 10 years of experience delivering large-scale data transformation initiatives in telecom, finance, and government sectors. I'm currently based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Notable Experience

Led strategic data transformation for a major UK telecom, directing a 100+ person delivery team and modernizing core platforms from legacy systems to cloud-native architecture.
Established and directed an enterprise Data & AI Center of Excellence, creating a five-year maturity roadmap that integrated governance, privacy, analytics, and machine learning into everyday business operations.
Delivered core banking modernization for a financial institution, leading teams to implement a Single Customer View and managing budgets, delivery, and executive stakeholder alignment.

My Journey

After building my career in the UK, I relocated to Riyadh to work in one of the world's fastest-growing digital economies. Living and working in Saudi Arabia has given me a unique perspective on data, AI, and business transformation in the Middle East — something I share through my writing and content.

What I'm Building

I spend my time building simple AI tools that solve real problems:

inboxie — AI-powered email organization
YouTube + Writing — Saudi life, data, and productivity
Other Experiments — Small data and AI products
