Rakhim Ford
Founder & Lead Engineer
From Enterprise Cloud to Local Business Growth.
I'm a Cloud Platform Engineer with 14 years of experience in technology, including 8 years working with on-premises infrastructure and the past 5 years focused on designing and delivering enterprise-grade solutions on Microsoft Azure.
My background spans the full spectrum of modern platform engineering—from traditional infrastructure through to cloud-native architecture. I enjoy building scalable, reliable environments that support both developers and business goals, with a strong focus on automation, security, and operational efficiency.
Alongside my engineering work, I founded Rak Developments to bridge a gap I noticed locally. Many small businesses in Northamptonshire were paying premium agency prices for slow, insecure WordPress templates. My goal was to bring modern engineering practices—React, TypeScript, custom infrastructure, and edge networks—to local businesses in a way that is accessible through a simple monthly model.
Today my work combines Azure cloud architecture, modern web technologies, and AI-driven automation to help organisations build faster, more reliable platforms and modern digital experiences.
