👋 Hey there!

I'm Rahim, an open-source developer with a passion for making the web a better place. Born and raised in Australia, I found solace in coding, starting with Java and later delving into various technologies. My journey led me to create innovative projects, from scrapers in Java to crafting my own high-performance JavaScript UI framework, Maverick (ranked in the top 10).

In 2020, I immersed myself in the world of media players for the web, founding Vime and later building Vidstack Player whilst integrating it into Reddit. Now, I'm on a mission to revolutionize every web media experience, aspiring to create the most widely used player globally.

The challenges of outdated players inspired Vime's creation, addressing issues like poor documentation, state management hurdles, and integration limitations with modern frameworks. This journey revealed broader challenges in media for frontend devs, prompting my focus on building a comprehensive video workflow with Vidstack.

Your sponsorship is vital to sustaining this journey. I've poured years into developing, documenting, and refining video players, often using personal funds. While my wife's support has been incredible, I want to ease the financial strain. Your sponsorship, big or small, supports my family and fuels the growth of Vidstack.

If my work has made your life easier or more enjoyable, consider a sponsorship to keep pushing video on the web forward for frontend devs. Every contribution means the world to me. Thank you for being part of this journey!
