AL-HAKEEM DLC — Intelligent Financial Decision-Support Platform 2025 – Present Founder & Software Engineer Independent Project link: alhakeemdlc.site End-to-end FinTech platform that turns structured market-analysis methodology into a multi-layer, human-in-the- loop decision-support workflow, taken from architecture through to live production deployment.

• Architected and built a modular full-stack platform: Python/FastAPI backend, React/TypeScript frontend, PostgreSQL database, deployed with Docker and Nginx.

• Designed multi-layer validation and decision-gating logic that filters market-analysis signals through risk- governance rules before surfacing results — kept as human-in-the-loop rather than autonomous.

• Implemented JWT-based authentication/authorization and audit logging across all protected API endpoints for traceability.

• Migrated the production database from SQLite to PostgreSQL as the system scaled, with zero data loss.

• Integrated MetaTrader 5 to pull real-time market data into the analysis pipeline via a custom Python integration layer.

• Owned the platform end-to-end: requirements, architecture, backend/frontend development, testing, deployment, monitoring, and iterative optimization, as a solo engineer. PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
