Genuine curiosity. It's the mindset behind everything I build — product strategy, sales playbooks, automation workflows, visual storytelling through photography & videography.
The first task I was ever given in the beginning of my career: build a mobile game — tap a ball, it randomizes its position on screen, and a timer resets and shortens with every tap, for both iOS and Android. I had a month. This was before AI could write a line of code for you. I didn't know either platform, so I found a 100-hour Android course on Udemy, built the Android version start to finish, then carried what I'd learned into iOS.
And then, because the brief never said I couldn't, I kept going. The ball became a rotating beach ball. The background became a beach. The timer became a visual countdown. I added a high score tracker nobody asked for.
It's why I got labeled the "007 agent" a few years later: every mission is different, the job is to figure it out. It's why I stayed through an acquisition and helped rebuild instead of leaving. It's why a friend once joked I should start an automation consulting business after watching how deep I'd gone to learn automation testing. Photography and video editing came from somewhere else entirely — I just loved the craft and the art of it, not because work needed it. But that same creative eye shows up in my work.
I don't think of "professional skills" and "personal skills" as different categories. They're the same muscle, used in different rooms. Everything below is proof.
This is where the game-building instinct started paying off. I became the internal subject matter expert in automation testing for mobile applications — the person enterprise customers turned to for their mobile testing strategy. I delivered hands-on enablement, virtual and on-site, often functioning as an extension of the professional services team, and earned trusted advisor status with some of the largest enterprise accounts in North America. A friend, watching how deep I'd go into this stuff, joked I should just start an automation consulting business.
Technical Sales Engineer wasn't the plan — it came out of a period of internal restructuring, and it turned into a door worth walking through. It felt like a natural next step: same technical depth, an entirely new skill set. I had to learn how to talk about a product in a way a prospect actually cares about — not a feature tour, but a value story, personalized to whoever was in the room. This role also meant running structured evaluations anywhere from a week to months, and closing each one with an executive summary presented directly to the people who'd decide.
I stepped into a team of 5 Product Managers. But here's where it gets interesting — this wasn't a typical PM seat. Our VP of Product knew how dynamic I could be, that I'd take on whatever needed solving, and brought me in as the agent in the middle. This is where "007 agent" was actually born — every mission was different, and the job was to figure it out, whatever that meant that week.
Some weeks that meant coaching PMs on how to translate a feature into value a sales rep could sell. Other weeks it meant rewriting hundreds of documentation pages with new structure (GIFs for visuals, and real examples of feature usage).
Stepping into this role felt oddly familiar already. I'd already been doing the job without the title in various forms. Seven years inside the business by that point meant I knew exactly what sales cared about, what was missing, and where the dead bodies were buried. What I kept running into was an identity problem: sales couldn't position our solution well because the story we were telling didn't align with our core strengths. Fixing that wasn't quick — it took months of rebuilding: the customer deck, the ICP, the competitive positioning.
As a new PMM, I'd been deep in producing assets — decks, pages, playbooks. Leading a Tiger Team gave me a different lens: instead of just making things, I started thinking in terms of what the business actually needed — this sales play should generate X leads, which produces $Y in pipeline by end of Q2 — and that reshaped what I chose to work on, prioritizing impact over output.
The work itself: listening to call recordings, joining every discovery call, personally leading them, running an honest two-way feedback forum with reps, leading demos to model what a value-based, personalized demo looks like. Every part of the sales cycle got analyzed — gaps identified, flagged to leadership, then closed with a 16-page playbook and personalized training that became the operating foundation.
If a skill learned is a skill you keep, it should show up more than once. Here's the same instinct, in a work room and in a room nobody's paying me to be in.
You're already reading the personal sample — this portfolio is it. What's below is the professional side.
On June 28, 2025, the European Accessibility Act moved from deadline to enforcement. That was over a year ago now.
If it doesn't feel urgent anymore, that's normal. Deadlines fade fast once nothing visibly breaks. But accessibility doesn't fail like a server outage — the consequences show up later, as a lawsuit, a failed audit, a deal that stalls in procurement.
My father's best friend has been blind since birth. Watching him in his kitchen, he moves through prep and cooking faster and cleaner than most sighted people, because he can "feel" every surface and tool. Hand him an iPhone to pay a bill through a banking app, and none of that mastery carries over — a touchscreen has no way to feel whether his thumb landed on "Transfer" or "Cancel." Whether he can finish that payment comes down to whether the team that built the app tested for him.

That meant bringing together support engineers, sales engineers, product managers, and others, and teaching all of them how a great blog post gets written. Six months in, we were still posting every week. From there, based on our learnings, I built it into a skill file: a go-to guide for writing posts that rank, showing up in the right places at the right time instead of just publishing into the void. It's been the foundation for every post since.
Photography shaped how I see the world before it ever showed up in my work — light, timing, what to leave out of a frame.

Building usually starts the same way — break it down to the simplest form first, then build from there. Or the fancier term for it: First Principles Thinking.
A friend needed an email outreach system for his marketing firm. I built an n8n workflow that scrapes Google Maps by state and profession, checks for contact info, website presence, then generates and sends personalized outreach emails daily.
Co-developed a Python plugin bridging Digital.ai Release and Digital.ai Testing. Combined Google Speech-to-Text APIs with Accessibility Testing and Appium to automate screen reader validation.
In a challenging discipline where Generative AI has arrived, Rahee has mastered the tech and immersed himself in the challenges faced by both individuals and their organizations.
He digs deeply to uncover the true needs of a prospect, and demonstrates on value, never losing sight of what it takes to close the deal.
Rahee is one of the best solution engineers I have worked with. He takes time to understand the pain points of the end user and tailors his presentations/demos to show exactly how to solve that.
