His story
From building systems to understanding them
Hafiz Rahman is an author, technology executive and entrepreneur with 28+ years of experience across engineering, data, AI and organizational transformation.
Based in Melbourne, he has built the trusted systems behind high-growth subscription businesses and consumer brands, leading engineering and data initiatives across fintech platforms and multi-site entertainment businesses.
His work has evolved from building technology systems to understanding the systems behind organizational and human decisions. That thread runs through his books: from Solving Business Problems Using SQL (2019), to Decision System, to the forthcoming Full Stack Life.

The systems behind our livesComing soon
Full Stack Life applies the same diagnostic thinking to people: finding the real problem before trying to fix the wrong one.
What he writes about
Better diagnosis. Better decisions.
01
Diagnosis before action
Most effort is wasted fixing the wrong thing. Better outcomes start with finding where a problem actually comes from.
02
Numbers worth trusting
Organizations are rarely short of data. What they lack are numbers people trust enough to decide with.
03
Systems, not symptoms
Recurring problems are produced by hidden systems—in companies and in lives. Change the system, and the outcome follows.
