I'm Houssam, a PMP and MBA certified Product Manager with 6+ years of experience delivering fintech, enterprise, and eLearning products for clients across the EU and the Arab Gulf. I own the full product cycle: from discovery and functional specifications through sprint delivery, stakeholder alignment, and launch.
In payments, I've integrated and managed third-party providers across the money-movement stack, from processing and FX to KYC and payouts (Checkout.com, Shift4, MetaMap, Currencycloud, and others).
I also integrate AI tools into my workflow to build front-end prototypes for early stakeholder validation, so teams commit to the right thing before a single sprint is spent.

Selected work
Each case is documented the way I run products: clear context, an explicit problem, my role, the approach, and measurable outcomes.
