Operating Philosophy

AI raised the bar for junior developers. Motivation does not clear it. Systems do.

I love meeting inspiring people, learning from them, and passing their wisdom to the next generation through repeatable engineering frameworks.

Rakib is always pumped to take challenges with minimum or no guidelines. He puts significant effort to understand each and everyone’s personality of his team. I found him strategic and hard-working to dissect technical challenges then match them with each team members’ skills and personality. He has many more secrets (I asked him to teach me all of his secrets. He smiled) to balance the team dynamics and project goals. I wish him success.
