Certifications

Certificates that match the work I have actually done

I do not collect certifications just to collect them. The ones here line up with areas I have used in real projects - API platform work and automation thinking.

Google Cloud and Apigee branding for certification card

Certification

Apigee API Engineer

Google · API Development

December 2018

This certification lines up with the API management and monetization work I handled in telecom and enterprise integration projects.

  • Focused on Apigee development, installation, and monetization.
  • Useful in work that involved API exposure, governance, and secure partner integrations.
UiPath branding for certification card

Certification

RPA Certified

UiPath · Robotics

June 2018

A good complement to backend work because it pushed me to think more about process automation and workflow efficiency.

  • Covered UiPath-based automation fundamentals and solution delivery.
  • Added another angle to automation beyond traditional application code.

Ongoing learning

I usually learn around the work

That was true for API platforms and automation, and it is true now for AI as well. I tend to learn best when I can attach it to a system, a workflow, or a delivery problem that actually exists.

That approach keeps the learning useful and makes it easier to carry new ideas back into production work without overcomplicating things.
