Statsbomb Collection

How do you scale real-time sports data collection without sacrificing correctness? Week one partnership: Ali dictated rules, I typed configuration, collectors thanked us. We built prevention into collection tools, gave product managers ownership through configuration, scaled to 5000+ collectors across sports. Architecture emerged over three years. Team building took longer—by the time ownership became distributed, I'd left Egypt. Lesson: sustainable systems need teams, not just separation.

Wise Editorial Platform

How do 20 teams collaborate on wise.com without friction or incorrectness? Building editorial infrastructure that handles global→local fintech complexity—regulations differ by market, offerings vary by country, cultural nuances matter. The challenge is architectural: coherence at scale while preserving developer experience. Puck and Payload became foundations for structured flexibility—schema-driven boundaries let teams compose freely without breaking each other. Still exploring what content collaboration looks like at 16M+ customer scale.
