Engineered a secure and scalable ICO platform on Solana, enabling real-time token sales and transparent tracking.

• Engineered a secure and scalable ICO platform on Solana using Rust (Anchor) and Next.js, enabling real-time token sales and transparent on-chain tracking for testnet users.
• Achieved sub-1-second (<1s) latency for live balance and token sale updates, significantly enhancing user experience.
• Implemented a 'buy tokens' function that processed atomic transfers of over 50,000 tokens at a fixed 0.001 SOL/token, incorporating custom error handling for security and reliability.
• Integrated wallet-adapter (Phantom, Solflare) with conditional UI, including auto-token account creation, achieving a 100% purchase success rate for admins and users.

Developed a scalable e-commerce platform utilizing a microservices architecture and advanced data persistence strategies.

• Developed a scalable e-commerce platform using a microservices architecture with dedicated services for Accounts, Catalog, and Orders, each with its own domain-specific database.
• Built a GraphQL API gateway to unify access across services, reducing client-side API requests by 40% and streamlining data retrieval.
• Engineered gRPC-based inter-service communication for efficient, type-safe, and low-latency requests between microservices.
• Adopted polyglot persistence by integrating PostgreSQL for transactional workflows and Elasticsearch for advanced product search, significantly improving query efficiency and user experience.

Developed a real-time chat application with robust features for user interaction and communication.

• Built a real-time chat application supporting one-on-one and group chats (2–100 members), file sharing (<5MB), typing indicators, and online status for over 200 active users.
• Integrated Socket.IO for live messaging and notifications, reducing delivery latency to under 100 ms and ensuring seamless communication.
• Developed an admin dashboard with user, chat, and message analytics, enabling monitoring of over 10,000 messages/week.
• Designed and implemented a friend request and user search system, improving user engagement and social connectivity by 35%.

Built a full-stack MERN application with user authentication, order management, and secure payment processing.

• Built a full-stack MERN application supporting user authentication, order placement, and secure payments via Stripe, complete with an admin dashboard for efficient menu, order, and refund management.
• Engineered a real-time order tracking system (food processing → delivery) with 5-second refresh intervals for live updates, enhancing operational efficiency.
• Integrated JWT authentication and bcrypt hashing, securing 100% of login sessions and effectively preventing unauthorized access.
• Implemented scalable REST APIs and models for users, food, orders, and refunds, reducing database query latency by 30%.

Developed and optimized RESTful APIs and enhanced application security and performance for a software development team.

• Developed robust RESTful APIs using React.js, Node.js, and MongoDB, focusing on efficient query optimization, error handling, and secure data operations.
• Implemented JWT authentication and role-based access control, significantly enhancing application security and user management.
• Achieved a 25% reduction in page load times by leveraging server-side caching and asynchronous data handling with Promises.
• Boosted frontend performance by 35% through strategic use of React Hooks, lazy loading, and memoization techniques.
