Architecture Case Studies.

A technical deep dive into real-world architectures I have designed, scaled, and operated—from distributed IoT manufacturing and high-throughput streaming networks to automated commerce pipelines and enterprise perimeter lockdowns.

Distributed Systems & IoT

The Makers Lab — Distributed 3D Manufacturing Cloud Hub

The Challenge

Orchestrating a multi-location fleet of heterogeneous 3D printers (Bambu Lab MQTT & SimplyPrint API) to handle custom customer orders, real-time print telemetry, and automated G-code slicing dispatch with zero human intervention.

The Architectural Solution

Architected an event-driven microservices hub with secure MQTT message brokers, WebSocket telemetry streams, and automated webhooks. Built custom REST API endpoints to dynamically sync product catalogs, calculate precise filament costs, and route orders to optimal idle nodes based on material availability.

99.9% Automated Dispatch
<100ms Telemetry Latency
0 Dropped Orders
Media Streaming & CDN Infrastructure

OkkitO — High-Throughput Streaming & Video Delivery Infrastructure

The Challenge

Scaling live TV broadcasts, on-demand movie streaming, and Android app distribution across fluctuating peak viewer concurrency without video stuttering, buffering spikes, or origin server collapse.

The Architectural Solution

Engineered high-throughput streaming server infrastructure with multi-tier caching, origin shield proxies, intelligent load balancing, and automated failover. Streamlined app delivery pipelines and optimized stream chunking protocols, eliminating latency bottlenecks during peak broadcast events.

FinTech & High-Volume Commerce

Laqta Commerce — High-Volume Transaction Processing & API Automation

The Challenge

Operating 6+ years of mission-critical gift card sales, complex multi-gateway payment processing, instant digital fulfillment pipelines, and fraud prevention under heavy customer traffic surges.

The Architectural Solution

Designed automated asynchronous API transaction pipelines connecting payment gateways, fulfillment microservices, and customer notifications. Eliminated manual reconciliation bottlenecks with idempotent transactional queues, automated recovery routines, and encrypted data migration pipelines.

Security & Zero Trust Perimeter

Enterprise Perimeter Lockdown — Zero Open Inbound Ports

The Challenge

Protecting sensitive internal services, databases, staging environments, and admin portals from brute-force scanning and credential stuffing without the friction and latency of traditional VPNs.

The Architectural Solution

Implemented Cloudflare Zero Trust (ZTNA) with outbound-only Cloudflare Tunnels (cloudflared). Configured identity-aware access policies (SSO + MFA), Web Application Firewall (WAF) rate limits, and private subnet routing, completely closing all inbound public firewall ports.

Enterprise Academic Infrastructure

Université TÉLUQ — High-Availability Academic Systems

The Challenge

Maintaining 99.99% availability and rapid response times during high-concurrency online examination periods and student registration spikes.

The Architectural Solution

Provided core Linux infrastructure support, database query tuning, memory caching policies, and automated monitoring alarms to prevent server throttling and eliminate memory leaks under peak traffic.
