AI Platform Highlights
- Spring Boot microservices
- Kafka-based orchestration
- Persistent review history and failure recovery
- Docker-based local deployment and metrics hooks
Distributed Order Processing Platform
Order, payment, inventory, and logistics workflow architecture with Kafka-driven orchestration, idempotent processing, and resilient failure recovery across service boundaries.
Distributed Systems Highlights
- Saga-style order workflow
- Retry handling and dead-letter isolation
- API-first ingestion and monitoring hooks
- Horizontally scalable consumer design
Mobile Payment Security System
Security-focused software system based on IMEI-driven device verification to strengthen mobile payment authentication, trust, and fraud-aware decision flows.
Security Platform Highlights
- Research-backed implementation
- Authentication design lens
- Payment security use case
- Publication-connected project story
System Design Library
Architecture case studies grounded in my own backend, platform, and AI-oriented work.
Each case study focuses on requirements, event flow, key decisions, trade-offs, and failure handling instead of generic interview diagrams.
Distributed Order Processing Platform
API gateway, order service, payment, inventory, and logistics workflows connected by Kafka with idempotency, retries, and saga-style recovery.
- 50,000 events per minute design assumption
- No duplicate payment execution
- Replayable event flow and audit trail
PR Intelligence Platform
GitHub webhook ingestion, Kafka queues, analysis workers, AI-assisted review services, and resilient result delivery with observability and rate limiting.
- Webhook burst absorption
- Failure-aware async review flow
- Rate limiting and worker isolation
Real-Time Transaction Reconciliation System
Trade ingestion, validation, ledger updates, duplicate detection, and reconciliation workflows designed for high-integrity financial operations.
- Low-latency reconciliation path
- Consistency versus throughput trade-offs
- Partitioned processing and auditability
Internal/private implementation - case study generalized from production work.
Mobile Payment Security System
IMEI-aware mobile payment security architecture with device identity validation, authentication orchestration, risk checks, and fraud-aware recovery flows.
- Device identity validation
- Payment fraud reduction lens
- Research-connected system design
Publication
Peer-visible work beyond code repositories.
Improved Security on Mobile Payments Using IMEI Verification
Peer-reviewed conference paper published in Springer's Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing proceedings for ICSADL 2022, focused on a stronger mobile payment security model centered around IMEI-based device verification.
