Hi, I'm RF Rayhaan!
I'm a Software Engineer
who builds & ships.
Feel free to explore my portfolio and reach out — I'd love to connect!
A bit about me
Software Engineer passionate about building elegant digital experiences. I've shipped production code at companies like Shopify and Ross Video — always focused on craft, performance, and user impact.
I'm pursuing a Computer Science degree (AI/ML specialization) at Carleton University with a minor in Statistics, maintaining a 3.95 CGPA. My technical range spans frontend frameworks like React, Next.js, and TailwindCSS to backend systems with Ruby on Rails, Node.js, and Golang. I'm actively expanding into cloud infrastructure, AI/ML technologies, and entrepreneurship. When I'm not coding, you'll find me on hiking trails exploring the outdoors.
Where I've worked
Shipping features at scale, from startups to global platforms.
