Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIhab Shehadeh is a software engineer based in Sweden with nearly a decade of experience designing and delivering distributed systems, microservices, and cloud-native architectures. He has progressed through senior engineering roles at companies like Truecaller and Zalando, bringing practical leadership to systems design and delivery. His background includes deep Java expertise from early career roles and hands-on backend contributions to notable open-source projects such as the Janet language and Money Manager Ex. Ihab’s open-source work shows attention to low-level correctness and interoperability—fixing event handling, Windows file stream quirks, and adding 64-bit serialization support—while also integrating third-party APIs for fault-tolerant features. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic problem-solving that balances reliability, performance, and incremental delivery. He pairs broad product-facing experience with a habit of improving test suites and edge-case behavior that often goes unnoticed until it breaks.
