Alamulaka
An online classroom platform delivering structured virtual learning to students.
Client Overview
Alamulaka is an EdTech platform built for parents and educators to run structured virtual classes for kids. We delivered the platform end-to-end as Full Stack Developers, with primary ownership of the backend — designing the API layer, the MongoDB and PostgreSQL data models, the deployment pipeline, and the payment infrastructure that powers paid enrollments.
