Admin System for Managing Leasing Orders

I was tasked with building and designing the architecture of a new leasing platform with connections to multiple third-party systems.

The platform is built using Node.js microservices as the back end, which communicates through REST and RabbitMQ running with Kubernetes on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The React front end communicates with the back end through a federated GraphQL server.

The system is now used by the sales, operations, and finance teams.

ChamSocial Community Forum

https://www.chamsocial.com
A friend and I took over an old email and forum community and rebuilt the website and mail server as a side project. We reduced the emails sent by over 30% by deactivating old emails when properly listening to simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP) responses. We completed the migration from a highly inefficient database structure of 219 tables to only 20 tables without any relevant data loss.
