The team
The people who own your engagement, named.
Critonyx is led by founders and senior engineers who've shipped in the verticals they serve — and stay on as the people you actually talk to.
Leadership
Syed Daniyal Naqvi
Chief Executive Officer
Sets the direction for Critonyx's specialist practices and leads engagements where the business stakes are highest — the founders who need a CTO-level thinking partner, not a vendor.
Works directly with founders across AI, SaaS, and regulated-industry engagements, and is typically the first person you'll speak to on a discovery call.
Connect on LinkedInPractice leadership
Senior engineers who lead engagements, not just work inside them.
Each Critonyx practice is run by senior engagement leads with prior experience shipping in that vertical. As the team grows, this page will surface named leads for each practice with their own backgrounds and LinkedIn profiles.
AI & Machine Learning
Leads architecture review for AI engagements — evaluation harnesses, retrieval pipelines, and the unglamorous infrastructure that decides whether a model survives production.
Web Platforms & SaaS
Most often the engagement lead on multi-tenant rebuilds and SaaS architecture reviews — tenancy, billing, and data-model decisions made before a line of UI is written.
Cloud & DevOps
Owns cloud audits and re-architecture engagements — the read on what's structurally wasteful versus what's just expensive to look at.
Healthcare & Regulated
Leads engagements where the audit trail is part of the product — staffing teams who've already shipped under HIPAA, SOC 2, and PCI-DSS.
Want to talk to the people who'd actually run your project?
A discovery call goes straight to the person who would lead your engagement, not a sales rep reading from a script.
