Project

Real-Time Order Processing System

  • Built a high-concurrency order processing system using Java (Spring Boot) with RESTful APIs for order creation and tracking
  • Designed asynchronous processing using message queue, improving system throughput under heavy load
  • Implemented Redis-based caching and locking mechanisms to prevent overselling and ensure data consistency
  • Optimized database queries and indexing in PostgreSQL, reducing response time by ~30%
  • Developed monitoring and logging system for real-time tracking of system performance

Scalable URL Shortener Service

  • Designed and implemented a URL shortening service using Java (Spring Boot) / Python (FastAPI) with RESTful APIs for high-throughput requests
  • Built a distributed ID generation system (Base62 encoding) to ensure uniqueness and scalability
  • Integrated Redis caching to reduce database load and improve read latency by ~50%
  • Designed database schema in PostgreSQL, supporting efficient URL lookup and expiration policies
  • Implemented rate limiting and logging mechanisms to ensure system reliability and observability
  • Containerized services with Docker and deployed on cloud infrastructure
