Hey, I'm Saleh Rabbaniy

BrainCreators

Since September 2024, I am working as a back-end software engineer at BrainCreators, a software and AI agency. The company mostly builds really cool digital inspection products, augmented with AI recommendations. Currently, the main products are related to road inspection and harbor surveillance.

I am mainly working on INSPECH.

Tadaah!

Tadaah is the leading marketplace in the Netherlands for freelancers in childcare. Childcare organizations have access to a pool of 8000 freelancers to fill gaps in their workforce.

At Tadaah, I was responsible for the end-to-end delivery and maintenance of the platform. I worked as a full-stack developer, but was also responsible for the infrastructure and the CI/CD pipeline.

My main achievement here was migrating the frontend to React, including building a complete component library based on headless UI and Tailwind CSS. This was then used to develop the Sign-Up Flow and the main organization dashboard.

NextGear

I started my first job as a software engineer at NextGear in Amsterdam. NextGear is a software agency that mostly builds platforms and apps.

At NextGear, I helped build a POC called XSAlert. The POC was a real-time alerting system built for elderly care that would alert the nurse when a certain (possibly dangerous) event occurred. The nurse was then able to see a live-stream on her phone and decide whether to take action.

Nomad Cowork

Nomad Cowork is my first startup and software project. It is a marketplace where digital nomads can find and book co-working spaces around the world.

I spent the first 9 months traveling as a digital nomad and building this platform. This was a very valuable period in my life which gave me a lot of great experiences. Building the platform completely by myself in Django and React, convinced me that I wanted to pivot into a career in software development. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to achieve the ambitious commercial goals, so I kept the project running as a hobby, free for users to use. I have been a software engineer ever since.

Start of Software Dev Career

After a 5-year career working in various roles within Business Intelligence, I start a hobby software project and decide to invest fully into building this platform.

VodafoneZiggo

I have worked in Business Intelligence at VodafoneZiggo for nearly five years. I started my BI career as a Reporting Analyst, building dashboards in QlikSense. After one year I was promoted to Senior Reporting Analyst. Soon after, I shifted from a technical role to become a functional lead, coordinating various large projects related to Marketing Automation, a field which I had experience in from my previous role at Adidas.

My main achievement was building an integrated customer data layer which functioned as a single source of truth for all customer interactions and automated communications.

Adidas (Internship & Thesis)

My first professional experience ever was at Adidas.

I worked as a coordinator in the Global CRM team, where I helped build features on top of our CRM system that helped local markets automate marketing programs. I also wrote my thesis here.

Bachelor of Business Administration

International Business Management at The Hague University of Applied Sciences.

It may come as a surprise after reading my above experiences, but I actually studied business. Even though I later gravitated to software development, I still believe that my business background has been a great asset in my career.
