I'm Rahat, a full-stack engineer based in DFW who likes shipping whole products: web, mobile, API, and infrastructure. I've spent 7+ years across TypeScript/React product work, applied AI, and developer relations.
I came into software as a second career. I moved over from customer support management, did a bootcamp in 2019, and started as an engineer at American Express.
🛠️ Right now
- Building Bento Anime at Yabai Labs, the studio I cofounded. Bento is an anime discovery platform that runs on a Next.js web app, a NestJS GraphQL API, and React Native apps for iOS and Android. It uses AI to identify anime from screenshots and give mood-based recommendations.
- Experimenting with AI agents, local/private LLMs, and Claude skills.
📍 Before that
- Movement: Head of DevRel & AI Enablement. Lead engineer on Motion Wallet and built internal AI agents for Legal, Finance, and Engineering.
- Biconomy, Polygon, Morph: Built and led DevRel and developer experience teams.
- Rabbithole, Simple Health: Senior frontend engineer.
- American Express: Software engineer, my first role in tech.
