About Shamseen Rahman

Heyooo I'm currently studying biomedical engineering at Boston University. Heh, I actually left my job as a software engineer to follow my interests. I've founded Firefly, a totally infant nonp...rofit organization working to develop a program of after-school clubs in disadvantaged neighborhoods to do cool things from dance to robotics to synthetic biology! But I have 0 idea how to run a business--let a lone a non-profit--so I came here to get some help with that ===== I'm pretty good with helping organize workflow for a team or project, it's what I've done as an engineer and as an intern for an Educational Development institution in Bangladesh. I've also acted as a Business Analyst and lead for adding a feature to software I was hired to work on. ===== I've just recently left my position as a software engineer. I still want to keep on with mobile and software development but more on my own pace, compared to a 9-5 job. Ya feel? I have professional experience with building websites and enterprise-level business-facing software/web apps. The GUI was in AngularJS, server and business logic in C# and ASP.NET, and a little bit of database design/upkeep with NoSQL. I was also part Business Analyst (cross-functional team) and sat with the clients to get the requirements and lead the addition of a new feature (but also code some parts because.. well my job description.) ===== As for mobile app development, I've done them for school projects and whatnot. I've only used the Xamarin.Forms framework (self-taught), which lets you build out Android, iOS, and Windows apps all at once. So I code it in C# and the designs in XAML, and the framework compiles and renders into that operating system's native platforms!
