Experience

Enterprise Infrastructure for Due Diligence and Compliance Screening

A front-to-back enterprise cloud data solution that aggregates data from global web sources and cleanses and prepares that data using NLP for search and business intelligence by our clients in the financial, due diligence, AML/KYC, and compliance industries. Once the data is prepared, it's ingested into a fast, scalable index, which clients can search on via an API call or front-end UI.

I built the client module from the ground up to handle multiple scenarios for permissions and product filtering. All the architecture was built using microservices to handle the traffic and permissions schemes. The infrastructure was scaled to allow for hundreds of millions of API calls per year.
