Philosophy

Philosophy

With over 12 years of experience as a Technical Product Manager, I've honed my skills in driving product development from inception to launch. I believe in taking ownership and delivering value through a focused approach: building small, shipping fast, and iterating. This philosophy enables the development of innovative products that address the changing needs of our users.

By prioritising rapid development cycles and continuous improvement, we can ensure that products are always relevant and user-centric. Each feature we ship represents a step forward, transforming user needs into impactful solutions.

Journey

Journey

Started my career as an Associate Software Developer, delivering enterprise solutions for notable clients including Equiniti Star and AstraZeneca, where I gained deep expertise in Microsoft Technologies, WCF services, and advanced system optimisation through root cause analysis. 

Inspired by the startup revolution in 2015, I ventured into entrepreneurship, cofounding Thing Spects, an IoT venture specialising in hardware prototyping and end-to-end product development from circuitry design to PCB fabrication. 

Subsequently, I co-founded an innovative mobile advertising platform that transformed traditional static ads into reward-based mobile ads, enhancing CTR for advertisers and user retention for developers through virtual/real reward distribution systems. 

Building on these experiences, I build Siya Tech Ventures, a Startup Studio that assists early-stage founders in building their MVPs, engaging with them from the ideation phase to the funding stage.

With Siya, I have been exposed to collaborating with diverse domains and founders and understood how we can create value for startups by making them investment-ready.

Product Development

As a Technical Product Manager, I specialise in driving and delivering scalable products in various sectors, such as Fintech, Healthtech, B2B SaaS, B2C platforms, Edtech, and AI/ML solutions.

I have experience in developing web applications using various technology stacks, such as full-stack development with Node.js, React, Angular, Next.js, NestJS, and Python. Additionally, I have expertise in mobile app development, utilising both native and cross-platform technologies.

My architectural expertise encompasses designing and implementing Monolithic, Microservices, and Serverless architectures focusing on scalability and maintainability.


I have experience ensuring regulatory compliance across frameworks, including GDPR, NHS standards, ORCHA healthcare guidelines, Open Banking and FCA financial regulations.


In the AI/ML domain, I have led machine learning products, including recommendation systems, generative AI applications, and advanced RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) implementations. I've established robust MLOps practices and designed agentic workflows for automated decision-making systems.


My technical leadership extends to implementing DevSecOps practices, managing technical debt, conducting security assessments through penetration testing, and establishing robust CI/CD pipelines. This comprehensive approach ensures the delivery of secure, scalable, and maintainable solutions across all projects.

Abdeali is a rare find - extremely strong technical capabilities coupled with business and start-up experience. He was able to quickly understand the product we wanted developed, and after this, he gave us a detailed roadmap of how we were going to get there. The end product looked incredible, and functioned just like we had planned.

It has been a pleasure working with Abdeali and his team to get our MVP developed, and I am looking forward to working with them to take our product to the next level.

Andrew Litkie

Founder, Mobile Dynamics Startup

Testimonial

I have worked with Abdeali since starting in my current role and would highly recommend him as a partner.

We are a fast moving start-up and Abdeali is playing a crucial role in ensuring our product is able to meet the changing needs of our business. I find him to be an excellent partner, providing a great connection between us and his offshore team with excellent communication skills and dedication.

On a personal level it is a pleasure dealing with Abdeali - he has a good temperament with a can-do attitude. He is dedicated and diligent, going the extra mile to take calls, oversee releases or respond to queries even at unsociable hours, and leads his team by example to deliver when he says he will which is really important for me as we have users and customers that depend on this!

Head of Technology & Compliance at Alvie

Testimonial

Abdeali and the team at Siya Tech have a lot of the qualities you want to encounter in a work environment. You really feel you’re in good hands with him! They have accompanied us in the creation of our app, allowed me to build my vision into the product, and I felt the CTO was in control of all steps coming and could lead the ideas I had in mind about this highly technical topic to fruition.

I wish to recommend him very strongly to anyone looking for a serious, dedicated, and at the same time easygoing and agreeable mobile app developer!

Co-founder at Studeo

Testimonial

We have been working with the team at Siya tech to launch our first website, they listened to what we wanted and our budgetary requirements while made great recommendations of their own which were invaluable with their experience yet keeping to our vision and improving on it.

Easy to work with, communicative and delivered before time.

Founder, Hospitality Source

Abdeali and the Siya team have been a great to work with. We came with an early concept and a comprehensive list of requirements.

The team were able to build multiple products quickly whilst maintaining high quality in a short timeframe.

They also try to be forward thinking with the goal of keeping the project timeline on track.

Based on my experience, I'd highly recommend them to any early stage startup.


Nikian Aghababaie

Founder at Redwood

I had the pleasure of working with Abdeali and his team at Siya during the development of our MVP. Abdeali consistently demonstrated his exceptional leadership and technical expertise throughout the project.

Abdeali and his team were highly cooperative, fostering a collaborative atmosphere that made working together a seamless experience. Their dedication to quality and innovation shone through in the final product.

It was a pleasure working with him, and I am grateful for the role he played in the success of our project.

Megha Jose

I worked very closely with Abdeali while launching our Biznest MVP. He was great to work with, very sharp, pragmatic and value driven, he both challenged our thinking on the experiences we were designing and compliment our designs with missing bits we forgot about..at the end of it I think we had a very strong MVP ready to be tested by users so I'd recommend Abdeali and his work to any other founder needing a trusted partner to bring their vision to life

Product Leader at Biznest

Abdeali and his team have provided great support for shaping up my Product and to make sure that my product works without any glitch or bug.

Abdeali is a fast learner and takes ownership of the product. If you give hint to him for any new features or idea, he will outline the roadmap for you very fast as if he is already prepared for it.

He is very easy to reach out and very pleasant to talk. By nature and vision he is Techpreneur and believes in empowering others while learning new things.

Ravi Sharma

Abdeali is very talented, and flexible with his clients and business partners, he always try to suggest better ideas, keeping in mind the User Experience. Good listener and team leader, it is a pleasure working with Abdeali on a daily basis, I look forward to a long-term and lasting relationship with Abdeali and Hatim, the founders of Siya Tech Ventures :)

Managing Director at Preselected

I have started working with Abdeali closed to 2 years. He has a great ethics and insights for Tech Product as he does his research very thoroughly. Being from an engineering background, I find IT process to be different, but Abdeali helped me in making understand the process and has consulted me for different stages of product development.

Abdeali is very passionate about tech products and he wants the product to be best in market. He will keep working on it until he is satisfied with both design and functionality as he believes that there should be always ROI for what you building.

Abdeali and his team can do wonders, if you provide them a right Tech Idea.

Global Director at McDermott International

Abdeali did an excellent job developing my mobile app for both iOS and Android. He is very thorough with his work and is really fast at understanding requirements. There was great communication throughout the development process and Abdeali made sure that I was kept in the loop about any and all issues that came up. I will be using Abdeali's services for future projects,, and I would definitely recommend Abdeali for development work of any kind.

Munish Sharma

Process improvement & re-engineering leader

Siya Brothers (Hatim & Abdeali) are a great partner as far as implementation of mobile startups is concerned.
They translated our ideas into reality(working apps) almost perfectly, and at a competitive price.
We were most impressed by the communications and outreach from the team. We felt like they were as invested in and excited about our project as our own team. I'll definitely recommend SiyaTech to everybody.

Co-Founder at Golfhubber

The digital world is a very volatile place, with new crazy ideas, products coming up by the second. To survive in such an environment you have to be a sharp, calculated risk taker that can adopt quickly to new environment and technologies, Abdeali is that person.
