AppVelocity
I was the designer of AppVelocity's backend architecture for an AI product spanning image analysis and user-behavior simulation in Figma and the browser. This AI based platform was rearchitectured from spring monolith into several services.
My contribution
- My scope covered microservices, API gateways, payment integrations, and message-queue-based infrastructure on GCP/GKE.
- I implemented asynchronous background workers for AI and simulation workloads.
- I built MCP servers and integrated existing MCP services.
- I led interns during part of the engagement.
Outcomes
Long-running tasks could run without blocking user requests, with observability from request to result. I also gained experience guiding interns alongside hands-on implementation and backend architecture ownership.
