Hi, I'm Muhammad Touqeer 👋

Senior Software Engineer & Solution Architect based in Freiburg, Germany.
I build reliable, scalable backend systems and help teams ship with confidence.

  • 🔧 Backend & Platforms: Java, PHP, JavaScript/Node.js
  • 🏗 Architecture & Delivery: system design, roadmapping, incident & release management, CI/CD, test automation
  • 🧩 Leadership: mentoring engineers, aligning tech with business, improving processes across teams
  • ☁️ Cloud & Ops: experience with Alibaba Cloud, observability (logging, metrics, tracing), high‑traffic systems

One of my core strengths is modernizing legacy systems. I can help you:

  • Build a strategy, prototype, and migration pathway for your legacy platforms.
  • Design migrations that minimize business interruptions and reduce risk.

Because the hardest problem in software development often isn’t building something new —
it’s migrating legacy systems to modern architectures without disrupting the business.

Over the past 10+ years I’ve:

  • Led cross‑functional teams (backend, QA, mobile, DevOps) to deliver end‑to‑end products.
  • Reduced technical debt and stabilized large legacy codebases.
  • Designed and implemented incident management, release processes, and QA strategies.
  • Worked across Europe and Asia with stakeholders from Product, Business, and Operations.

What I’m focusing on now

  • Improving reliability and observability of complex backend systems
  • Standardizing engineering processes (branching strategies, testing, release flows)
  • Helping teams grow through better documentation, architecture diagrams, and mentorship
  • Designing safe, incremental legacy‑to‑modern migration pathways
  • Maintaining a SaaS platform serving 1M+ users and 11K+ customers, ensuring smooth day‑to‑day operations
  • Leading and working closely with DevOps on reliability, scalability, and future platform plans
  • Working directly with the CTO to drive the technical roadmap and long‑term architecture for the organization
  • Contributing to open‑source systems, sharing tools, ideas, and improvements with the community

If you’re working on challenging backend, platform, or legacy migration problems, I’m always happy to connect.
