Risafa Imtiyas

I’m a backend engineer intern with strong business analysis exposure, focused on translating stakeholder requirements into technical solutions. I enjoy working at the intersection of clear documentation, system understanding, and practical feature delivery.

At PickMe, I collaborated in a large-scale microservices environment (40+ services) within the passenger domain. I analyzed functional requirements, aligned expectations with system capabilities, and supported development with cross-functional teams across Business Analysts, QA, DevOps, and DBOps.

I also helped improve system reliability and performance by investigating issues, contributing to root-cause analysis, and monitoring behavior using Kibana, Grafana, and Prometheus. In Agile Scrum ceremonies, I supported sprint planning, stand-ups, and sprint reviews, helping drive requirement discussions and prioritization.

Beyond my internship, I built full-stack products such as a gemology lab management system (Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Prisma) with RBAC and AWS Cognito/Amplify/S3 integration, and an LMS serving 600+ students and 70+ teachers with real-time updates and role-based access. I’m motivated by building scalable systems and sharing knowledge—demonstrated by delivering a Kafka session to simplify complex concepts for my team.
