About
Ahmed Elesawy
I’m a Senior Software Engineer, Tech Lead, and GIS/Enterprise Architecture specialist with 20+ years delivering large-scale systems across energy, government, and enterprise. I bridge strategy and execution—designing architectures, leading teams, and shipping production software in .NET, React, Angular, and GIS stacks.
Who I Am
- Tech lead and strategist who aligns technology with business outcomes.
- Product thinking: discovery → delivery loop, outcome-focused roadmaps, and ruthless prioritization by impact vs. effort.
- Domain-Driven Design (DDD) mindset: clear bounded contexts, ubiquitous language, and modular architectures that map to the business.
- Solution architecture for scale: microservices, event-driven patterns, and integration via well-designed APIs.
- Hands-on full-stack builder in .NET and modern JavaScript frameworks.
- GIS expert delivering TOGAF-guided architectures and real-time spatial solutions.
- Quality engineering: automated tests (unit/integration), contract tests, and CI/CD with gated deployments.
- Reliability & observability: SLOs, structured logging, tracing, dashboards, and actionable alerts (build-run ownership).
- Security & compliance aware: least-privilege design, secrets management, and privacy-by-design (GDPR-minded).
- Agile leadership: pragmatic Scrum/Kanban, clear Definition of Done, and incremental delivery with quality gates.
- Value-stream & process improvement: reduce lead time, cut toil, and remove hand-offs for faster, safer releases.
- KPIs/OKRs and ROI focus: define measurable success, instrument features, and iterate based on data.
- Cost & performance optimization: TCO awareness, right-sizing infrastructure, caching strategies, and query tuning.
- Stakeholder communication: turn complex tech into simple decision points for execs, product, and non-technical teams.
- Pre-sales & RFPs: solution shaping, estimation, and proposal writing that connect architecture to business value.
- Team building & mentoring: grow engineers through code reviews, pairing, and clear technical direction.
