Multi-Platform Platform (Fintech)

Multi-Platform Platform (Fintech)#

Spring Boot · React · Android · FastAPI (AI KYC) · ONNX/OCR

TL;DR — Designed and implemented a modular platform across backend, web, mobile, and an AI KYC microservice. Reduced KYC false-rejects and stabilized flows under real-world constraints.


Context & Role#

Solo/lead developer across multiple layers. Objectives: secure account flows, robust KYC, and a wallet experience that can operate independently of heavier banking flows.

Problem#

  • Fragmented onboarding with brittle KYC caused drop-offs and manual reviews
  • Inconsistent data boundaries across services and clients slowed iteration
  • Accuracy/latency trade-offs in OCR, face match, and liveness checks

Architecture & Approach#

  • Domain-oriented Spring Boot modules: auth, accounts, analytics, kyc, wallet
  • AI KYC microservice (FastAPI): pluggable providers; threshold tuning + retries
  • Android Wallet: card reload, QR pay, bill-pay; Retrofit interfaces & DTOs
  • React Web dashboard with a11y-first forms/tables
  • Observability & CI: safe defaults, lint/type checks, reproducible envs

Tech Stack#

  • Spring Boot · Hibernate · MySQL

  • TypeScript · React

  • Kotlin · Android · Retrofit/OkHttp

  • FastAPI · ONNX (ArcFace, SCRFD, liveness) · OCR


Challenges & Trade-offs#

  • Face-match sensitivity vs UX → tuned thresholds; re-tryable capture & guidance
  • OCR noise → preprocessing + field-level confidence gating
  • Network reliability → graceful fallbacks & cached responses on mobile

Results#

  • Fewer KYC false-rejects after threshold tuning and OCR cleanup
  • Reduced manual reviews; faster re-submission loops
  • Standalone wallet flows widened the onboarding funnel


What’s next#

  • Deeper analytics for KYC decision explainability
  • Payment gateway webhooks with idempotency + retries
