I have a proven track record in optimizing database structures, enhancing API performance, and ensuring data integrity and security.

Throughout my career, I have developed and optimized server-side infrastructure for financial platforms, integrating third-party APIs and SDKs for seamless transaction processing. I also spearheaded the establishment of an edtech startup, Ruqtec, where I formulated the company's mission and vision, aligning it with the dynamic needs of the tech industry. My approach emphasizes hands-on learning, preparing learners for real-world applications in tech.
