Optiven Internal Portal
Responsive internal management system enabling real-time data synchronisation across departments of a leading Kenyan real estate firm.
Overview
At Optiven Limited, I designed and maintained a suite of responsive internal systems that serve as the operational backbone for the company's departments. The platform enables seamless real-time data synchronisation, replacing manual processes and reducing inter-department communication overhead.
Working in a fast-paced agile environment, I partnered with stakeholders to align technical solutions with business goals, and conducted performance optimisations and code refactoring that significantly improved system scalability and reliability.
Key Features
Real-time Data Synchronisation
Cross-department data sync via real-time API integrations, ensuring all teams work from a single source of truth with minimal latency.
API Integration Layer
Implemented real-time REST API integrations that reduced downtime and enhanced operational efficiency across the organisation.
Performance Optimisation
Conducted systematic code refactoring and performance tuning, cutting system bottlenecks and ensuring the platform scales with growing data volumes.
Responsive UI
Built responsive React interfaces that work across desktop and mobile, giving all staff access to the tools they need wherever they are.
Technical Implementation
Full-Stack Architecture
Built with React on the frontend and Node.js on the backend, communicating via REST APIs. PostgreSQL serves as the primary database, with optimised queries ensuring fast reads across large datasets.
