Muhammad Asad Tanwir is a Netherlands-based technical project manager and software architect with more than a decade building and shipping enterprise software. He moves fluently between the whiteboard and the codebase: ecosystem architecture, cloud transformation, DevOps and pre-sales on one side, hands-on Angular, .NET, C#, Azure and SQL on the other. After roughly six years at Wiseman Innovations he has been working on AI-driven projects, including a recent stretch in Riyadh tied to Saudi technology firm Azm Development, where a colleague publicly called him the company's biggest gem.
