About Me

Hey there! I’m Saima Rahman, a passionate cook who also happens to love code. My journey started in tech, where I worked as a Software Engineering Coach at Flatiron School, helping students learn how to build with Ruby on Rails, React, and JavaScript. Mentoring others taught me the importance of clarity, empathy, and creative problem-solving, skills I carried with me when I became a Developer at IBM, collaborating with Product Managers, designers, and QA teams to bring real-world projects to life. Somewhere along the way, I picked up a camera and started sharing my love for food online- and that’s where my two worlds collided. What began as a creative outlet turned into a full-time journey in digital storytelling, where I’ve built my own brand from scratch across Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. From concept to creation, I handle everything — recipe development, visual content, and community engagement, blending my tech mindset with creativity every step of the way. Now, I’m exploring how to bring my experiences in tech, creativity, and storytelling together through product management and brand strategy. I’m fascinated by how thoughtful products and authentic stories can connect people, and I want to help build those experiences..
