Rashim R B

Software Developer

I grew up in Kodavasal, a small village in Thiruvarur, and somewhere along the way got completely hooked on tech. Wrote my first lines of code in grade 8 — a school program run with Bharathidasan University — and never really stopped. Back then I genuinely dreamt of working at Google someday. Still do, honestly.

Everything after that was self-taught and curiosity-led. I think in visuals, figure things out as I go instead of planning every step, and get pulled toward hard problems that don't have clean answers. I'm quiet until I actually know you — then I don't really shut up. Night owl, team player, dedicated to a fault.

These days I'm a Software Developer at Skcript, building things that quietly run in production. The work I love most is where I can look at the code and visually trace the whole flow of execution — clean, simple, where you can see exactly how it's all wired. My mentor here, Varun, never just hands me the answer; he asks questions back until I find it myself. That changed how I think.

Outside work: badminton (need to get back to it), A.R. Rahman and a lot of chill music, the occasional Lego set, math, and slowly getting into reading. If any of this resonates, let's talk.

Work Experience

SkcriptApr 2025 – Present

Software Developer

  • Built Skcript's email and notification service from scratch — pulled it out of a legacy Ruby system so every product routes through one place.
  • It's handled 500K+ jobs in six months with zero failed deliveries. Redis queues, Postgres transactions, and a 3-try retry path keep it honest.
  • Added pixel-based open tracking and URL shortening, so the dashboards show who opened and clicked in near real time.
  • The pipeline behind it logs every step of an email's lifecycle, so nothing disappears silently under load.
  • Shipped FeatureOS Mobile end to end with React Native + Expo — changelogs, roadmap boards, voting, and a searchable knowledge base in one app.
  • Wired in Apple Sign-In, Sentry, and React Query for typed APIs and caching across iOS and Android.
