I worked on a greenfield project to create a digital wallet tied to a prepaid Mastercard, enabling users to load money onto the card and spend it in stores or send funds to other app users. My key contributions include: • Building the authentication and 2FA authentication processes, ensuring secure access to user accounts. • Developing a device lock mechanism to limit active sessions for a specific account on a specific phone, enhancing account security. • Collaborating on database structure design to effectively track transactions and user interactions. • Utilizing TDD with Moq and NUnit to ensure the reliability and stability of the application. • Implementing RabbitMQ to efficiently queue transactions in the pipeline. • Developing features for sending and requesting money from other users, improving the app's functionality. • Creating an identity authentication mechanism to verify users' personal details against government-based identification using government APIs, complying with KYC regulations. • Developing a notification system with Firebase to deliver real-time updates to users' phones for various events, such as account limit changes, payments, and money requests. This experience highlights my expertise in backend development using the .NET stack, web APIs, message queues, relational databases, and high-performance ORMs like Dapper. It also showcases my ability to work on greenfield projects, delivering secure and reliable software solutions.
