Hi, I’m

Ruzaik Nazeer

I work on software that supports real operations.

I’ve spent several years building and supporting production systems used by real teams. My work spans backend services, APIs, frontend applications, and deployment workflows, with a focus on reliability, predictable behavior, and long-term maintainability.

I’m most comfortable working on systems that need to be understood, extended, and safely operated over time.

About

I work on software systems that teams rely on to run day-to-day operations. My background includes building backend services, designing APIs, developing frontend interfaces, and supporting deployment workflows in live environments.

I focus on clarity and predictability over clever abstractions. I care about how systems behave once deployed, how safely changes can be shipped, and how easy the codebase is to understand months later.

How I work

  • I design backend contracts before building interfaces so systems evolve safely.
  • I prefer readable solutions over clever but fragile abstractions.
  • I move long-running or failure-prone work into background jobs.
  • I automate build and deployment steps to reduce manual release errors.
  • I leave systems easier to understand than when I found them.

Production software development

Iconblocks · Remote

2019 – 2023

  • Built backend services using Laravel to support operational workflows requiring validation, background processing, and consistent API behavior across multiple frontend modules.
  • Designed and maintained REST APIs consumed by React applications, focusing on predictable contracts, pagination, filtering, and error handling.
  • Developed React-based administrative interfaces for internal teams, structuring components and state to keep complex forms and reports manageable.
  • Implemented background jobs and scheduled tasks for reporting, exports, and notifications without blocking user-facing requests.
  • Worked with MySQL for operational and reporting queries, improving schema usage and query patterns to keep dashboards responsive as data complexity increased.
  • Supported deployments on AWS with an emphasis on secure access, availability, and operational stability.
  • Automated build and deployment workflows using Jenkins and Docker to keep releases consistent across environments.
  • Reviewed code and mentored developers with a focus on clarity, reuse, and maintainability.

Selected work

Multi-location operations platform Case

Built and supported software used to manage operational workflows across multiple locations. The main challenge was keeping the system predictable while supporting data-heavy screens and frequent workflow changes.

Focus: REST API contracts, background jobs, React dashboards, and release stability

Laravel seeder tracking tool Open Source

Created a small tool to make seeding safer by tracking execution history and preventing accidental repeat runs. This helped keep environments consistent when onboarding or rebuilding data.

CI/CD workflows for web applications DevOps

Implemented build and deployment workflows to reduce manual release steps and keep runtime environments consistent. This supported safer releases for both backend services and frontend assets.

Focus: Jenkins pipelines, Docker builds, repeatable deployment steps
