Rafiul Alam is a software engineer and founder based in Finland with eight years of experience building cloud-native, microservices-driven systems and AI/LLM tooling. He co-founded Upskill, a recognized EdTech startup in South Asia, where he led architecture, cloud migrations, and the product lifecycle for multiple SaaS offerings, and later founded PowerExt to boost individual productivity through extensions. His background includes hands-on backend and notifications/payments work at Zuellig Pharma, leading LLM labeling and training pods, and an upcoming engineering role at Wolt, reflecting a mix of product ownership and execution. Rafiul blends startup grit with enterprise discipline—comfortable moving monoliths to microservices, introducing event-driven architectures, and operationalizing ML workflows. He often acts as a bridge between product, infra, and data teams, and brings a practical focus on KPI-driven product delivery that isn’t obvious from job titles alone.
