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. In my current role I shipped a production AI agent with tool use and guardrails, an MCP server, and retrieval pipelines with evals.
