Tamer Mekhimar
translator, software tester, and proofreader in Cairo, Egypt
Welcome to my page!
I’m looking for a fixer-upper with a solid foundation. I am willing to tear down walls, build bridges, and light fires. I have great experience, lots of energy, a bit of that “vision thing” and I’m not afraid to start from the beginning.
