  • Improved reliability and consistency across external integrations by establishing a gRPC communication design for synchronous service operations in Node.js;
  • Kept domain logic free from database-specific concerns by designing a thinner database layer using Knex and PostgreSQL, replacing repositories with direct application service queries;
  • Reduced integration test time from over 5s to under 1s per test by leading performance improvements using React Testing Library and Vitest;
  • Enabled horizontal scalability and infrastructure cost reduction by restructuring the backend architecture on top of NestJS microservices;
  • Enabled the customer service team to process thousands of client files per day by introducing a CMS that reduced new client onboarding friction;
  • Cut CSV processing time by roughly 10x by implementing parallel stream processing in Node.js and PostgreSQL for files with millions of rows;
  • Improved scalability and reduced inter-service dependencies by establishing an event-driven architecture using CQRS and Kafka for asynchronous cross-system operations.
