Sohel Taher Sayed

Product leader who builds. AI agent systems, blockchain products, trading automation and full platforms.

12 years shipping for HSBC, MetLife and AXA through EY, IBM and Capgemini. Now in Dubai, leading product for two live blockchain platforms.

I built an engineering team made of agents.

Designed, built and run by me. Agents take an idea from spec to shipped feature. I make two decisions. They do the rest, and prove it.

My agent system, illustrative runrunning
How a feature moves through the agent system A spec is planned and approved by me, built by three parallel agent lanes, checked by a council of reviewer agents, tested, passed through a safety gate and shipped. Findings loop back to design. A shared memory feeds every stage. finding, back to design Ideaa spec PlanI approve Build agent Build agent Build agent Review council Testproves it Gate unsure? it stops Shipwith evidence Shared long-term memory: every decision, lesson and correction

Memory is the hard part.

I designed my own hybrid memory, then built the conventional design too and benchmarked both. Mine won. The other was retired.

Plus 1.6× leaner context for the model, with no loss in answer quality.

Parallel agents

Work splits across agents that build and test side by side.

A review council

Independent reviewers, security included, must agree before anything moves.

Memory that compounds

Lessons persist for months. It does not repeat a mistake it has learned from.

Rules, not vibes

When to stop and ask is a written rule, never the model judging itself.

Works overnight

Runs unattended inside limits I set. Anything risky is refused, not attempted.

Grades itself

Audits itself constantly, and is allowed to give itself a failing grade.

Also designed and built by me

Self-built agent

Genie

Always-on tech lead. It drives work to done and only interrupts me at a real decision.

Self-built assistant

Aria

My personal assistant on Telegram. It plans, triages and briefs me, and measures whether its suggestions are actually useful.

Blockchain

I lead product for two live platforms at LMNTO, Dubai, since 2025.

DePIN rewards platform

Live

Households run a small device that shares spare internet capacity for token rewards. I own the roadmap, wallet, KYC and compliance.

  • 19,000+sign-ups
  • 5,000+active users in 84 countries
  • $1.2M+deposits
  • +40%conversion from my Fast Track programme

DAO governance platform

Live

Token holders propose and vote, and outcomes execute on chain. I wrote the V2 governance contract myself.

  • 24+proposals
  • ~800lines of Solidity I authored
  • 0critical or high security findings

Also: my Python reward simulator caught a plan paying 43% against a 34% cap, before launch. Every change is still priced with it.

Trading automation

Tools that move or watch money, built to be measured.

Copy-trading engine

Live

Mirrors trades from signal-provider strategies into a separate MT5 account in real time. Each strategy runs on its own rate budget, so one busy strategy never slows the rest.

Python, MetaTrader 5, Telegram alerts

  • <1strade detection
  • 4 to 12strategies in parallel

Treasury monitor

Live

Twice-daily wallet reports across Polygon, Arbitrum and TRON. Read-only, so it never holds a key.

Executive dashboards

Live

Analytics from inside a VPN, delivered safely to 11 executives, the CEO included.

Full platforms

Specified, built and tested end to end. Both are live.

Home screen of the housing-society platform

Housing-society platform

Live

Everything a paid society manager does: billing, accounts, visitors, complaints, meetings and dues recovery. Resident protections live in the database, not on the screen.

  • 99web routes
  • 15rules enforced in the database
  • 4languages
Sign-in screen of VoiceEarn

VoiceEarn

Live

People read published books aloud and get paid per approved page, in USDC on Polygon. A guided reading room and a full admin review console.

React, Supabase, serverless Node.js, Polygon

Process improvement

Six changes, each with its evidence.

~85%

faster policy issuance at MetLife UAE, from days to instant.

82

design gaps caught in a build where all 504 tests passed. Now gated.

700,000

records migrated off a mainframe with zero data loss.

40+

process gaps found before a line of the new platform was built.

9 pts

payout overrun caught in simulation, before launch.

2

manual finance and leadership reports now run themselves.

Experience

12 years, four companies.
