Projects

My software engineering projects and contributions

Here are some of the projects I've worked on throughout my software engineering journey. Each project represents different challenges, technologies, and learning experiences.

E-commerce Backend System

Built a full-featured REST API for an e-commerce platform with inventory management, order processing, and payment integration. This project taught me the importance of transaction management and handling concurrent operations in a production environment.

Key Learnings:
  • Implemented optimistic locking to handle concurrent inventory updates
  • Designed RESTful APIs following best practices for scalability
  • Learned the importance of proper transaction boundaries in distributed systems

Real-time Chat Application

Developed a real-time messaging application with WebSocket connections, user authentication, and message persistence. This project was a deep dive into real-time communication patterns and managing stateful connections at scale.

Key Challenges:
  • Managing WebSocket connections and handling disconnections gracefully
  • Implementing JWT-based authentication for stateless API design
  • Designing a message persistence layer that balances performance and reliability

Microservices Architecture (Work Project)

Designed and implemented scalable microservices architectures for financial services platforms. Worked on high-frequency data processing systems where performance, consistency, and reliability are critical. This experience shaped my understanding of distributed systems and event-driven architecture.

What I Learned:
  • Service decomposition strategies and when to split vs. keep services together
  • Event-driven communication patterns and handling eventual consistency
  • Performance optimization techniques for high-throughput systems
  • The importance of observability and monitoring in distributed systems
