About This Project
Architected a high-performance Express.js backend that serves as the backbone for corporate operations. Engineered a four-tier security architecture and managed complex data lifecycles. From automated catalog scraping and OCR processing to real-time synchronization between legacy IBM DB2 systems and modern PostgreSQL environments.
Technologies Used
Engineering Challenges
Automated Catalog Management: Developed a pipeline for scanning multiple digital catalogs, utilizing Google Vision API for OCR to extract and assign SKU data from physical catalogs and assign a page. Implemented logic to handle complex page assignments, multi page appearances, and CSV-based batch updates for new catalog entries.
Cross-Platform Data Integrity: Engineered a robust synchronization engine to maintain consistency between legacy IBM DB2 and external providers databases. Solved data-mapping conflicts to ensure accuracy.
Dynamic Content Routing: Built a flexible CMS-style endpoint system that manages site content via metadata tags, allowing for dynamic frontend updates without requiring code deployments.
Technical Highlights
Multi-Tier Security Architecture: Implemented an advanced routing system with four distinct authentication layers, catering to public users, session-based customers, token-validated API clients, and internal staff.
Automated Reporting Engine: Developed a background task system that monitors API usage and performance, generating nightly analytics reports and customer inventory insights via automated mail services.
Business Logic
Inventory Intelligence: Created automated reporting tools that provide real-time visibility into customer stock levels and API health metrics for stakeholders.
Product Lifecycle Automation: Streamlined the transition of products from initial sample sets to production categories, reducing manual database entry time for the product management team.
Marketing Integration: Built automated sync pipelines between core customer data and third-party email service providers, ensuring marketing segments remain updated based on real-time buying behavior.
