Open to remote employment worldwide

Remote Forward-Deployed Engineer, available worldwide from Beirut.

I’m Muhamad J. Akoum, a senior product engineer in Beirut with twelve years across native mobile, Flutter, web, backend, and applied AI. I work close to customers and product teams, find the real constraint, build the complete path, and stay for rollout.

I have not held the formal FDE title. I’m pursuing the role because its accountability matches the work I have done: discovery, hands-on delivery, production follow-through, and customer context.

How I work

01

Start with the workflow

Observe the real users, systems, exceptions, and decision points before choosing the implementation.

02

Ship a production-shaped slice

Build the smallest end-to-end path that uses real permissions, data, failure handling, and operating constraints.

03

Stay through adoption

Measure use, fix what blocks trust, document the system, and return recurring customer needs to the product.
