I’ve been working with Rahim for the past 4 months and short as it may seem, I can already say that he is the kind of colleague everyone would want to have. He is very meticulous and conveys genuine passion in his job. Rahim challenges both the product owner and the team to always strive to come up and deliver the best solution for the users.
He value everyones opinion, no matter what their position or skill level. He is open to suggestions and in case he has to disagree with you on some points, he surely has something to back him up. Not unlike some who just says “No” just because they don’t want to do it.
He also makes my job easier by providing me with very good use cases, wireframes and supporting documents. He is very helpful and will not in any way, make you feel stupid whenever he answers your questions. He is flexible, and is always quick to make changes to the user experience from user testing.
Apart from being serious with his work, he is very collaborative, relaxed, easy-going, proactive and he makes the workplace less stressful. He knows how to have fun while still being productive at work.

Rahim has a tiger in his tank and brought bucketloads of positive energy to the office – in fact it felt flat without him there!
If you ask him to do something he’ll have it finished or underway before you’ve returned to your seat. One thing I really appreciated was that he actively picked up the phone and spoke to clients if he had a question or issue (something that some designers and developers are reluctant to do). This enhanced the reputation of our team.
Another thing that’s great about Rahim is that he’s never afraid to say what he thinks and start difficult conversations which need to be had and result in a better product/clarification of issues.
He’s a true character who’s very good at his job and I wholeheartedly recommend him
