Case Studies & Impact

A selection of enterprise projects where I led the technical strategy, designed the architecture, and delivered measurable business value.

Enterprise Software

Inventory Management System with Barcode Scanning

The Problem: The business struggled with manual inventory tracking, leading to discrepancies, stockouts, and inefficient audits.

The Solution: Engineered a robust real-time inventory management platform with mobile barcode scanning capabilities, seamlessly integrating with existing ERP systems.

My Role & Architecture: Led the architecture design utilizing .NET Core microservices and a React frontend. Designed the database schema in SQL Server and established the CI/CD pipeline on Azure DevOps.

Business Impact: Reduced inventory discrepancies by 98% and accelerated the auditing process by 3x.

.NET Core React Azure

FinTech / Payment

Payment Gateway Integration (MPGS)

The Problem: The existing payment infrastructure was brittle and lacked support for modern, secure international transactions.

The Solution: Integrated Mastercard Payment Gateway Services (MPGS) into the core enterprise donation and payment portals.

My Role & Architecture: Acted as Solution Architect and Lead Engineer. Designed secure, compliant REST APIs (Java Spring Boot) to handle tokenization and PCI-DSS compliance requirements.

Business Impact: Enabled a 40% increase in digital transaction volume and zero security breaches since deployment.
