DFMS — Distributed File Management System

A highly scalable file storage platform built as production-grade microservices, with low-latency gRPC communication and multi-tiered Redis rate limiting.

  • ▸ Production microservices: Architected a scalable storage platform using gRPC for low-latency inter-service communication and Redis for multi-tiered rate limiting.
  • ▸ Optimized storage engine: Engineered an advanced storage algorithm leveraging Content-Defined Chunking (CDC) and SHA-256 deduplication to drastically minimize redundant data.
  • ▸ Fault-tolerant replication: Designed a resilient, event-driven replication manager using Kafka, a consistent hashing ring, and active health probing for automated node failover.
  • Go
  • gRPC
  • PostgreSQL
  • Redis
  • Kafka
  • MinIO
  • Docker

SkillSwap — Peer-to-peer skill exchange

A full-stack platform where users list skills they offer and want, discover matches, manage swap requests, and communicate in real time with end-to-end encryption.

  • ▸ Scalable full-stack architecture: Architected a peer-to-peer skill exchange platform with match discovery, swap request management, and real-time E2EE communication.
  • ▸ Secure data layer: Built a robust PostgreSQL backend with GORM and JWT authentication; implemented E2EE messaging using X25519 key exchange and XSalsa20-Poly1305 encryption (TweetNaCl).
  • ▸ Real-time engine: Engineered a WebSocket hub in Go with optimistic message updates, typing indicators, multi-tab support, and LiveKit-powered WebRTC video calling between matched users.
