Positioning Statement: I help enterprise Java teams modernize legacy systems so they can ship changes faster with fewer production failures.

My name is Ahmed Tawila. I am based in Cairo, Egypt. I am a senior backend engineer and team lead. My ideal client is a European company that needs a senior backend engineer to launch a new web, mobile app, or backend system, or add new features to it, or improve its performance. My offer is not very specific. Throughout my career I was employed at companies working as a junior developer having specific features to implement, performance bottlenecks to fix, and a senior developer working on more vague projects and owning complete products from requirements to delivery, and as a team lead coaching my teammates, doing code reviews, mentoring them and owning delivery end-to-end. Most of my clients find me on LinkedIn. I launched my website last week where I added two articles I've posted previously on LinkedIn. I post on LinkedIn in an intermittent manner (not regularly). My current bottleneck is that I am currently between roles and looking for a client to work with so I am not currently employed. Another thing is whoever makes the decisions to hire me is usually not the actual client. It is team leads, engineering managers, VPs of engineering, and CTOs so I don't hear customer feedback all the time. What would make joining this community an obvious success is that I find a client to work with — ideally in Europe. My LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ahmed-tawila-98ba163a/ A few things about me that has nothing to do with business is that I am a husband and a father of three boys.
