Tell me about your project
Do you work through Upwork or directly?
Both. Upwork gives you escrow and reviews; a direct contract suits longer engagements.
Which time zones do you cover?
I'm in Cairo (UTC+3) and work remotely with teams in the US and Europe, overlapping US and EU hours.
Can you join an existing codebase?
Yes — most of my work has been inside existing Node.js/NestJS, Laravel, Angular and Vue codebases, including splitting a monolith into services.
Do you build AI features into existing products?
Yes. I've shipped a production AI agent with tool use and guardrails, an MCP server and RAG pipelines with evals at Netsync.
