System Context

Creator monetization platform. Backend team responsible for services handling link management, analytics, and creator tools.

Scale

500K+ users, high-throughput data pipelines.

Engineering Challenges

  • –Synchronous processing bottlenecks at scale
  • –Analytics pipeline needed to handle growing data volume

What I Built

  • –Built backend services for creator monetization platform
  • –Implemented asynchronous job processing with RabbitMQ
  • –Built caching layer with Redis for high-read endpoints
  • –Contributed to scalable data and analytics pipelines using Kafka, Trino, and MinIO

Technical Decisions

  • –RabbitMQ for async jobs over synchronous processing
  • –Kafka+Trino for analytics pipeline

Impact

  • –Platform serving 500K+ users reliably
  • –Reduced response times through caching
  • –Scalable analytics pipeline
