• Architecture: Asynchronous worker pipeline using BullMQ & Redis, decoupling AST parsing from API threads to sustain sub-100ms latency and 99.8% job reliability.
• Vector Search: Integrated Qdrant Vector DB (1536-d HNSW indexing) with payload filtering and diffHash Redis caching, cutting LLM costs by 75% with <120ms retrieval.
• Tech Stack: TypeScript · React 18 · Express.js · MongoDB Atlas · Redis · BullMQ · Qdrant · Docker · Socket.io

• Scalability: Enterprise platform serving 3 distinct user roles with Google OAuth 2.0, 30+ modular REST APIs, and MongoDB indexing on sessionId accelerating queries by 40%.
• Payments & Deployment: Automated payment workflows via Stripe API and webhooks, deployed across Vercel and Render maintaining 99.9% uptime.
• Tech Stack: MongoDB Atlas · Express.js · React.js · Node.js · JWT · Google OAuth 2.0 · Stripe API · Tailwind CSS

• Concurrent Ingestion: Multi-threaded client pool querying external services concurrently, fetching 2,500+ live records in under 1.5 seconds.
• Caching: Multi-tier disk caching with automated TTL eviction (6h/24h/7d) across 1,200+ records, reducing redundant network calls by 80%.
• Tech Stack: Python · Streamlit · pandas · NumPy · RESTful APIs · GraphQL · scikit-learn · pytest
