Summary
Raheem Kirlew is a pragmatic software engineer and recent Computer Science graduate based in Winnipeg with nine years of hands-on experience spanning customer support, data operations, and full‑stack product development. He founded and shipped First Round, a Next.js/TypeScript interview-prep platform that blends realistic simulations with AI-assisted feedback, owning architecture, UX, and deployment as a solo founder. At Shutterfly he applied rigorous data-cleaning and Power Query automation to maintain CRM integrity, and at SkipTheDishes he translated high-volume customer signals into triage improvements and operational efficiencies. Comfortable across Python, Java, JavaScript, SQL and NoSQL, he designs APIs and cloud deployments on AWS and Firebase while favoring clean, maintainable code. Colleagues know him for bridging product and operational work—turning repetitive manual workflows into repeatable, documented processes. He’s motivated by building tools that make complex systems more reliable and easier for people to use.
