Rakibur Rahman Rakib's Professional Picture

Hello! I'm Rakibur Rahman Rakib 👋

Backend-focused Software Engineer who enjoys understanding systems deeply.

Co-founder at softexui.com

I'm a language-agnostic software engineer who loves to deep dive into computer science fundamentals and learn technologies from their core level. I believe strong fundamentals matter more than tools, and I enjoy understanding why and how things work before building on top of them.

I'm especially interested in what happens behind the scenes, from databases and operating systems to backend architecture, system design, and scalability. I enjoy breaking complex systems into simple pieces, studying their internals, and applying that knowledge to build reliable, maintainable, and efficient software.

Beyond coding, I enjoy sharing what I learn through discussions, documentation, and collaboration. I'm always curious, always learning, and always working to improve my understanding of systems from the ground up.
