Overview
Engineered a secure and scalable backend architecture for the BURN platform, serving as the central engine for content delivery and data management. I focused on building a high-performance API layer that bridges complex internal data structures with modern frontend requirements, ensuring a “single source of truth” for the organization’s digital ecosystem.
Technical Execution
Headless CMS Integration: Architected a robust content management layer using Strapi, customized with Node.js to handle complex data relationships and enterprise content workflows.
API Strategy & Testing: Implemented a hybrid API approach featuring secure GraphQL and REST APIs, utilizing Apollo Sandbox for rigorous live testing and schema validation.
Backend Engineering: Developed the core logic using TypeScript, ensuring a type-safe and maintainable codebase that mitigates runtime errors across the content pipeline.
Infrastructure & Hosting: Orchestrated the deployment and server management on Digital Ocean, optimizing the environment for high availability and low-latency API responses.
Result
Delivered a resilient backend foundation that empowers the BURN platform to manage and distribute data with precision. By combining a headless CMS approach with a high-performance hosting environment, I established a flexible infrastructure that supports rapid feature scaling and secure multi-channel content delivery.
