Funds Approval
All of the data stored in the database is encrypted for security reasons.
The system has predefined regulations, and only after a series of required approvals transactions get processed by the BMO Bank, and we have completed the work to maintain the journal ledger current.
It makes use of NACHA files that BMO processed for ACH transfers. To validate bank accounts, we've integrated the Stripe and Plaid APIs.
vHorizon
All of the company's reporting, including risk reports, finance, compliance, and many others, are consolidated into a single dashboard, and authentication and authorization are centralized utilizing a centralized identity server.
It contains multiple small UIs as microservices and their APIs. These are all small microservices consolidated into the dashboard.

On this project, I was a full-stack developer working on almost every aspect of the system, including the MailChimp and HubSpot integration, and writing a framework that allows nearly any third-party API to be integrated. I worked on the project's UI and back end, including database design and complicated SQL queries.
