A fast-scaling financial technology provider faced database locking issues and timeout bottlenecks during peak evening settlement runs on their legacy PHP core.
The Engineered Solution
Engineered an event-driven transaction switch in Node.js and Redis. Implemented pessimistic row-level database locking in PostgreSQL, multi-bank failover routing, and signed HMAC webhook notifications.
