Hirethechefwhocovers the station
you didn't plan to lose.
I'm Moses. Chef de Partie, Riyadh. Months off-schedule — covering leave, crossing sections, learning new items on the fly. Split shifts. Less sleep some nights. Whatever the shift needs.
Twice during that stretch I ran breakfast service with just the head chef. Usually a brigade of four. That morning it was two of us.
70+ covers. Clean service. No delays.

Kampala, Uganda Where it started
Learned the fundamentals — prep, fire, discipline. Six years building a foundation before leaving home.

Spanish fine dining. Ran my own section, refined plating, learned to lead a station under pressure.

Current kitchen · Riyadh Chef de Partie
Where I am now. Pushing toward Sous Chef. Building tech on the side — this site is proof.
Fine dining. Michelin track.
A kitchen where the ladder is worth climbing. Curious by default. Pushes me further than I'd push myself.
Someone who shows up.
And covers the station you didn't plan to lose. Learns new items on the fly. Runs the pass when the schedule breaks.
