Mohammad Rahber-E-Alam Raafa
My love for computers originated from when I was young and my parents could not afford our own computer. I used to go over to my neighbor's house and see them play video games on their Intel Pentium-4, 512MB RAM, Windows 95 machine. They would sometimes let me play too. I was amazed by how much that little machine was capable of doing. Soon enough I found myself pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science & Engineering. And my dream job is to work for Rockstar Games.
Experienced in full stack software engineering for 3 years. Fast learner and always eager to learn new technologies as well as implementing them in the best possible way. Recognized for achieving highest client satisfaction through strong communication skills, requirement analysis and clean coding.
I make sure I learn something new everyday!

Interests
Apart from coding, I enjoy most of my time planning my next vacation. I love travelling and experiencing different cultures. I make sure to travel atleast one country every year.
When forced indoors, I binge watch tv shows and learn how to cook. I spend a large amount of my free time exploring the latest technology advancements in the software engineering world and try to implement them in a pet project.
