HIGHLIGHTED PROJECTS

Serverless doctor appointment booking

Doctors appointment online booking and management portal, leveraging serverless architecture. Patients can book online by viewing synced doctors calendar, and then check-in to clinic using QR code and IOT device.

  • Designed and implemented complete end to end serverless architecture (Azure Functions, Service Bus, Static Web Apps etc.).
  • Protected endpoints with OAuth login and Azure Managed Identities.
  • Implemented CICD Pipelines.
  • Implemented frontend with realtime updates.

Cloud resource underutilization alerting

System for logging multi-deployment cloud resource metrics and alerting when resources are being underutilized.

  • Developed CLI tool for fetching and visualizing cloud resource metrics in the terminal.
  • Implemented resource metrics scraping from both Azure and AWS cloud resources.
  • Designed and implemented system and configuration for resource underutilization alerts and alert reports.
  • Programmed metrics aggregation transformations.

Scheme agnostic payments processing engine

Cloud based distributed multiple payment scheme processing engine with data insights. Supports both card and non card payment schemes. Customizable for multiple and varied scheme journeys and API calls. High throughput processing, with system-of-engagement off the hot path. Supports ISO 20022.

  • Designed data recovery and migrations strategies.
  • Designed system-of-engagement UI and payment repair paths.
  • Designed resource shape of system-of-engagement documents.
  • Designed and implemented GraphQL error logging system.
  • Integrations with core banking engine.
  • Implemented business logic for multi day direct debit payment settlements.
  • Implemented Go DB layer for both PSQL and Elasticsearch.
  • Implemented frontend elements and tests.
  • End to end testing.

Cloud abstracted WebSocket Pub/Sub

Custom WebSocket interface for managing streaming between internal services, backed up by swappable message broker. The goal of this project was to abstract implementation details of the broker away from the services, and use a standard WebSocket API for all services, such that the backing broker could be hot swapped depending on client requirements. SQS/SNS was used in this implementation, but GCP Pub/ Sub and Azure service bus could also be used.

  • Implemented connection to message brokers.
  • Setup testing environment.
