Muhammad Abdul Raheem

Sr. Software Engineer

Summary

Twelve years of shipping software that has to stay up — real-time communications platforms, commerce systems, and the APIs underneath them. My career started in the .NET world — ASP.NET MVC, Web API, Umbraco, SQL Server — and grew into JavaScript and TypeScript across Node.js, NestJS, React and Next.js. That range means I am equally comfortable tuning a stored procedure, drawing a service boundary, or pairing with a designer on the front end.

  • Design and ship scalable backend services in Node.js and NestJS, with typed contracts shared across teams.
  • Build responsive web applications in React, integrating REST APIs behind secure, maintainable architectures.
  • Deploy microservices to Azure with Docker, keeping environments reproducible from laptop to production.
  • Hold the quality line through code review on Bitbucket and GitHub, and unit tests written with Jest.
  • Work inside the client's own engineering process — their standards, their reviews, their release calendar — as a long-term embedded engineer rather than a hand-off contractor.
  • Translate ambiguous enterprise requirements into service boundaries a team can actually build against.
