About

I've spent the last 15+ years building distributed systems that actually hold up in production. Along the way I've worked across telecom, banking, e-commerce, and AI — at Alcatel-Lucent, Logos, secu-ring, Wayfair, and Vinted. I've done architecture reviews, mentored teams, and designed pipelines that handle millions of events a day.

More recently I've been deep in the messy parts of AI: agent architectures, LLM orchestration, skill registries, and real-time coaching systems. I help teams skip the hype and build stuff that works outside a demo.

What sets me apart is the overlap. I speak distributed systems and I speak AI. So I don't just know the patterns — I know how they break when they hit real infrastructure at scale.

How I Work

How I frame problems, make architecture tradeoffs, and carry work into production.

Problem Framing

Start with the system context, constraints, users, failure modes, and business pressure before choosing a technical direction.

Evidence First

System Design

Turn ambiguous requirements into clear boundaries, contracts, tradeoffs, and implementation paths that teams can reason about.

Maintainable Design

Delivery & Follow-through

Ship the work, document the decisions, review the implementation, and make sure the operational reality matches the design.

Engineering strengths across AI systems, distributed architecture, and production reliability

System Design

Distributed systems, microservices, event-driven design. I help you build things that don't fall over at 2 AM.

Kafka Event-Driven Microservices

AI Architecture

Agent systems, LLM orchestration, A2A protocols, skill registries, self-improving pipelines. Built for production, not for demos.

A2A AI Agents OpenClaw LLM Ops

LLM Coaching Systems

Real-time negotiation and soft-skills coaching with structured feedback loops. Backed by LLMs, grounded in real frameworks.

AI Coaching Real-Time Feedback Loops NLP

Architecture Reviews

Technical due diligence, system audits, code review at scale. Before you invest millions, talk to someone who's seen enough failures to know what breaks.

Selected Work

Real problems. Measurable outcomes. A few examples of what I've shipped.

Agent Orchestration Redesign

Their multi-agent system was producing hallucinatory handoffs — agents confident but wrong, passing garbage downstream. I redesigned the orchestration layer with typed contracts, skill registries, and structured fallback chains.

↓ 60% Response latency

0 Hallucinatory handoffs post-launch

Event-Driven Pipeline at Scale

A monolithic order-processing system was collapsing under peak load. Redesigned with Kafka-backed event sourcing, idempotent consumers, and an outbox pattern. From fragile to bulletproof in 10 weeks.

2M+ Events/day, zero data loss

10 wks Chaos to production-ready

Real-Time Negotiation Coach

Built a real-time LLM coaching system that listens to live negotiation sessions, provides structured in-ear feedback, and tracks skill improvements over time. Not a chatbot — a genuinely new category of tool.

↑ 40% Deal closure metrics

8 wks Pilot to production

Open Source Projects

Open-source systems for agent infrastructure, workflow automation, and local-first intelligence.

Recommendations

What former managers say about working with me

"Ghassan is a highly skilled and experienced software engineer. Ghassan questions the status quo and brings new ideas to the table. He constantly aims to develop himself further to stay ahead of competition. Ghassan proactively takes on ambiguous projects autonomously."

Felix Lehmann-Bohr Senior Engineering Leader — Former Manager at Wayfair

"Ghassan is a really dedicated software developer, who will not rest until he finds solutions he is really confident with and which match his standards. He always brought a lot of new thoughts and perspectives into our work. He is skilled on several programming languages like PHP and Scala. He is very interested in Clean Code and firm on agile methodologies. He will enrich every team that is willing to improve."

Olaf Stichtenoth Former Manager at secu-ring GmbH

"I have been Ghassan's immediate supervisor for several years. I found him to be consistently pleasant, tackling all assignments with dedication and a smile. Ghassan is a take-charge person who is able to present creative ideas and communicate the benefits. I highly recommend Ghassan for employment. He is a team player and would make a great asset to any organization."
