I’m a scholar–practitioner working at the intersection of ethics, religion, and organisational delivery. My focus is how moral frameworks shape economic behaviour, governance, and day-to-day Agile practice. I’m the creator of Ihsan Agile, an open-source Islamic Agile framework that adds ethical overlays to Scrum, Kanban, and SAFe, helping Muslim-led teams embed values like intention, stewardship, consultation, excellence, and justice into everyday delivery—without changing existing roles or methods. My work is grounded in long-term research into religion and economic life, including doctoral research (PhD Classics, University of Toronto) on belief, risk, and economic behaviour, and postgraduate work in Islamic finance (Professional Certificate in Islamic Finance: Shariah, INCEIF University) and charity marketing and fundraising (MSc Charity Marketing and Fundraising, Bayes Business School Centre for Charity Effectiveness). Ihsan Agile extends this scholarship into modern organisational settings, bridging the gap between ethical theory and real delivery systems.

Alongside research, I run a freelance consultancy called PlaceBased Agile which works hands-on with charities, community organisations, and public-sector teams, using Agile as a learning and ethical practice rather than a productivity optimisation tool. This applied work continuously informs the development of Ihsan Agile under real-world constraints.
