A few products I've poured myself into — what each one was up against, how I put it together, and what came out the other side.

Fintech campaign + payments backend

Weave.Fund — Crowdfunding

FintechPaymentsCampaignsFastAPI

Problem — Creators need to launch campaigns and receive funds transparently; backers need trust + tracking.

Campaign service → payment intents → ledger → webhooks · idempotency keys for double-charge safety

  • ✓Idempotency on all money endpoints
  • ✓Ledger-first design, not balance mutation
  • ✓Webhook reconciliation job for payment drift

GovTech document system for licensing authority

DVLA Asset Management System

FastAPIPostgreSQLRBACAudit Logs

Problem — DVLA Tema needed a single source of truth for assets + sensitive driver/vehicle documents with full traceability.

Document service → signed storage refs → Postgres + audit table · role scopes (clerk / supervisor / admin)

  • ✓Immutable audit trail table — no updates, append-only
  • ✓Strict RBAC scopes per document class
  • ✓Normalized asset ↔ document ↔ user graph for reporting

Business email + voting SaaS for Ghana SMEs

Votex365 Email Platform

FastAPIPostgreSQLMongoDBDocker

Problem — Ghanaian SMEs needed branded business email and simple voting tools without enterprise cost or complexity.

FastAPI services → Postgres + MongoDB stores · JWT/OAuth2 admin endpoints · Docker + CI/CD deploys

  • ✓Separate transactional and document stores by access pattern
  • ✓Admin endpoints behind short-lived JWT with scoped roles
  • ✓Onboard-first UX — 4 businesses live in week 1

Final-year project · farm-to-buyer platform

AgriMarket — Digital Agriculture Marketplace

Node.jsExpress.jsMongoDBNext.js

Problem — Post-harvest losses were eating farmers' income — no direct line to buyers, so produce rotted before it ever sold.

Next.js storefront → Express REST APIs → MongoDB · auth, product listings, bidding and transactions

  • ✓MongoDB for cloud-based, real-time data that holds up in rural areas
  • ✓RESTful APIs for auth, listings, bidding and transactions
  • ✓Node.js backend architected for scalability and maintainability
