Production-Ready AI & Data Systems Built to Scale

I'm Abdelkader Bekhti. I design and build enterprise-scale data platforms that process billions of events per day. With 10+ years of experience building systems for luxury brands and financial institutions, I help growth companies achieve enterprise-grade architecture without enterprise overhead. If your AI project needs to actually work in production, let's talk.

Experience & Scale

Billion-Event Scale

Built platforms processing 1B+ events per day for luxury brands and financial institutions, leading teams of 10+ engineers to deliver enterprise-grade systems.

Production AI Systems

Founded and built Nestorchat—4 production AI assistants with real-time voice processing. I don't just advise on AI, I build it.

10+ Years Experience

Designed cloud-native data mesh architectures, implemented DataOps/MLOps pipelines, and led data strategy for multi-billion dollar companies.

Limited Availability

Currently accepting 3-4 select projects per year. Based in Dubai, working with growth companies globally.

Production Systems at Scale

I've built data platforms and AI systems that process billions of events per day, from real-time streaming architectures to production ML pipelines. Each project focuses on one goal: systems that actually work in production, not prototypes that fail at scale. Here's a selection of recent work.
