About
Pooya Golchian
AI Transformation Lead
Dubai, UAE
I turn AI into shipped operating capability for regulated fintech, payments, and BNPL. Not slideware. Not pilots.
I work the forward-deployed way, embedding inside the customer's environment and owning the full arc, from discovery and integration through production build and operations. I work with everyone from line analysts to CTOs. I wire into real APIs, data pipelines, SSO, SAML, OAuth, legacy systems, and compliance. Then I stay on the problem with radical ownership until the system runs reliably, measurably, and safely.

I take on a small number of embedded engagements where AI has to ship inside real systems and hold up under compliance. If that sounds like your problem, start here.
