Obaid Ali, Founder

Founded by Obaid Ali — a strategic transformation leader with 14+ years driving enterprise technology programs across Capital Markets, Wealth and Asset Management, Digital Banking, and the public sector, inside all of Canada's Big Five banks.

That experience shaped how Whitby Automation vets and manages talent: structured screening, clear accountability, and delivery discipline applied to every engineer we place.

Canadian-Led Accountability

Every placement is managed from Toronto. Your point of contact, your escalation path, stays in Canada.

Vetted Global Bench

Every engineer is technically screened and matched to your stack before you see a profile.

EST-Aligned Delivery

Regardless of location, our talent works aligned to your working hours for real-time collaboration.

For leaders who need capacity now.

CTOs & Engineering Leaders

Need senior capacity fast, without the cost and delay of local hiring.

Founders & Growing Companies

Need a build team without the overhead of a full-time payroll.

Agencies

Need a white-label engineering back office to deliver client work at margin.

Financial Institutions & Public Sector

Need vetted talent that already understands regulated, high-stakes delivery.
