LMS Project Enhancement at Fireart Studio

At Fireart Studio, I played a key role in enhancing the system scalability and reliability of the LMS project. This project was a significant undertaking, and I was deeply involved from its inception to its successful completion.

My Role and Contributions:

For the first four months of this project, I worked as a solo backend engineer, responsible for creating the system design and database architecture from the ground up. This involved setting up the project using Nest.js, PostgreSQL, AWS, and employing NX Dev for our monorepo structure.

Key Responsibilities:

  • 🛠 System and Database Design: Developed the initial system and database architecture, ensuring a robust foundation for the project.
  • ☁️ Cloud Integration: Utilized AWS services for deployment and scalability.
  • 📦 Message Handling with Kafka: Implemented Kafka for efficient message handling between producers and consumers.
  • 🚀 CI/CD Pipeline: Established a CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions and AWS CloudFormation, significantly improving our deployment process.
  • 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Team Expansion: Initially worked solo, but later integrated and collaborated with two additional backend developers, facilitating smooth onboarding and knowledge transfer.
  • 🔍 Code Review and Decision Making: Played a central role in code reviews and key decision-making processes within the backend team.

Project Achievements:

The successful delivery of this project has been a testament to our team's dedication and technical prowess. Key achievements include:

  • Enhanced Scalability and Reliability: Implemented advanced system designs that significantly boosted the project's performance metrics.
  • Efficient CI/CD Pipeline: Reduced deployment times and manual errors by 40% through automated CI/CD processes.
  • Robust Message Handling: Leveraged Kafka to ensure reliable and efficient message processing within the application.

Technologies Used:

  • Backend: Nest.js
  • Database: PostgreSQL
  • Cloud Services: AWS
  • Message Broker: Kafka
  • DevOps: GitHub Actions, AWS CloudFormation
  • Monorepo Management: NX Dev

This project has not only enhanced my technical skills but also strengthened my ability to lead and collaborate within a dynamic development team. I look forward to leveraging these experiences in future endeavors.
