MAKHACHKALA, November 9 – RIA Dagestan. Ruslan Mankuliev, a postgraduate researcher and assistant at the "Transport Structures and Building Materials" department of Dagestan State Technical University, has been awarded a RUB 5 million grant in the "Start-1" competition, organized by the Innovation Assistance Foundation.
Operating under the "Technologies" federal project, the "Start-1" program provides up to RUB 5 million for 12 months of research and development, prioritizing initiatives that advance national technological leadership, with a strong emphasis on digital technologies.
Mankuliev’s winning project is an innovative visual software development builder. Utilizing advanced language models, the platform automatically generates test data, SQL scripts and REST API documentation. Its core advantage lies in enabling the visual design of domain models and business processes without requiring traditional coding, thereby significantly lowering the entry barrier for analysts and junior developers.
Dagestan State Technical University will serve as the project's official industrial partner. The solution is slated for integration into the university's academic curriculum, a move designed to bridge the gap between theoretical learning and practical industry demands, ultimately enhancing the training of future IT specialists.
