Event-Driven Systems

Decoupling complex business logic using Pub/Sub patterns. I ensure heavy background tasks don't slow down the user experience.

Strategic Approach

Monoliths become spaghetti code when everything happens in one HTTP request. I decouple your application using Event-Driven Architecture. This allows critical tasks (like payments) to happen instantly, while side effects (emails, analytics, logs) happen asynchronously.

Capabilities

Asynchronous Processing (Queues/Jobs)
Pub/Sub Pattern Implementation
Decoupled Microservices Communication
Background Job Management (BullMQ/Redis)
Real-time Event Broadcasting (WebSockets)
System Observability & Tracing

Engineering Process

1

Event Storming

Identifying domain events (e.g., 'UserSignedUp', 'PaymentReceived') and their side effects.

2

Infrastructure Setup

Setting up message brokers (Redis/RabbitMQ) to handle event distribution.

3

Consumer Implementation

Writing isolated listeners that handle specific tasks without blocking the main thread.

4

Failure Handling

Implementing Dead Letter Queues (DLQ) and retry mechanisms for robust processing.

Why Me?

Speed is a feature. By moving heavy tasks to the background, I ensure your API responds in milliseconds, not seconds. This architecture also makes your system easier to maintain and extend without regression.
