Microservices Migration
FTGO
Migrated the FTGO restaurant application from a monolith to Spring Boot
microservices, leading development of the Order Service with 8+ REST APIs. Implemented Kafka for
async event-driven communication and Spring Data JPA with PostgreSQL for order persistence,
containerised with Docker.
Cloud & Monitoring
AWS-Powered Study Manager
Modular Java Virtual Study Room with a task manager, timer, and music manager
built on OOP principles. Integrated AWS Lambda, SNS, and CloudWatch for event-triggered
notifications, improving system observability by 30%.
Real-Time Platform
Pairr
Skill-based peer matching platform with intelligent matching algorithms and
availability filters, supporting 500+ user profiles across 20+ skill categories. Normalised
PostgreSQL schema handling 1,000+ queries/day, with real-time 1:1 chat over WebSockets at
sub-200ms latency.
Full-Stack Platform
CodeConnect
Developed a full-stack platform enabling dual user roles (Companies and
Students) with secure JWT-based authentication. Designed a normalized PostgreSQL database with
