Experience
Accountant | Personal Finance Management
On the front end, I'm using Plaid Link to connect a user's bank account to the system, and using the information, the back end leverages the Plaid API to aggregate account information and financial transactions.
It's also leveraging Plaid webhooks to get signals from Plaid when additional data can be fetched from the Plaid API. I'm using Sidekiq for asynchronous tasks, such as fetching data from the Plaid API and automating account balance refreshes.
I initially used MongoDB with Mongoid to prototype this but have since migrated to using PostgreSQL.
