Hey, I'm Abdur Rahman. I build software that keeps up with the real world, usually somewhere between product thinking, engineering, and user experience, figuring out what matters, building it well, and making sure it holds up as things grow.
I care about the impact of what I build. That shows up in the way I take ownership, push initiatives forward, and help teams move faster with confidence. I enjoy mentoring, reviewing work thoughtfully, and creating space for others to do their best work. Good products are rarely built alone, and collaboration is a big part of how I work.
When I'm not building at work, I'm experimenting on side projects, exploring new ways technology can help people, reading widely, or taking on challenges that stretch how I think about products and systems.
Some Stories of Impact
Altruistiq - Senior Software Engineer ↗
At Altruistiq, I led technical support across the full stack and infrastructure, and focused on strengthening security and improving reliability across the product to help the team meet compliance standards. I also consolidated multiple repositories into a monorepo, refactored CI/CD pipelines, and added guidelines for AI coding agents, improving development workflows and team efficiency.
I onboarded new teammates, ensuring they could get up to speed quickly and start contributing confidently. Along the way, I collaborated with infrastructure and other teams to refine processes to improve incident response, and support initiatives that made the product more resilient and the team more effective.
Spekit - Senior Software Engineer ↗
At Spekit, I worked on making the product smarter, faster, and more enjoyable for users. I refactored the platform and internal systems to improve scalability and maintainability while collaborating with design to make the interface more intuitive.
I built tools that genuinely helped users do their work, including white labeling for large customers, Knowledge Checks to reinforce learning, an upgraded rich text editor, and drag-and-drop content management. I also refactored workflow recording to make it more efficient and optimized our data pipelines and search indexing, improving reliability, reducing unnecessary processing, and cutting costs. Across all of it, I partnered closely with product and design, mentored teammates, and focused on solving the right problems to create an experience people love to use.
What I Work With
I design and ship software across the full stack and infrastructure, working with modern frontend frameworks, backend systems, cloud platforms, and AI integrations. Here are some of the technologies and areas I work with regularly.
Words from Those I've Worked With
An exceptionally capable and proactive engineer who takes ownership, builds strong systems, and elevates the team around him.
Abdur Rahman consistently impressed me with his work ethic, technical expertise, and thoughtful approach to engineering. He breaks down complex initiatives clearly, collaborates effectively with others, and brings a strong focus on quality and user experience to his work.
Working with Abdurrahman at Altruistiq was an absolute pleasure. I particularly appreciated his patience and clarity when explaining technical issues to non-technical team members, allowing us to understand the problem and solution from the customer perspective.
