January 2018 - January 2026 (8 years)
• • Complete design of a modular platform's software architecture: definition of the client-server model, choice of exchange protocols (JSON/XML), server sizing for scalability.
• • Microservices architecture: design of a set of decoupled PHP services (read/write), standardized exchange protocols, exposure via AJAX API.
• • Design of an event-driven messaging system (EventManager.js): inter-component publish/subscribe, complete decoupling between modules, Observer pattern applied to the entire UI.
• • Data access layer abstraction: complete encapsulation of DB functions (connection, SELECT, INSERT…) allowing for DBMS changes without application impact. Repository/DAO pattern.
• • Modular architecture based on specialized singletons: ProcessManager (routing and rendering of pages described in the database), state manager (inter-page state machine), graphics representation manager.
• • Design of a cross-platform mobile abstraction layer: native Android (Java) and iOS (Objective-C) foundations exposing a unified JavaScript API for resource access (camera, files, notifications), eliminating business code duplication.
• • Security: authentication token system, anti-SQL injection procedures, service isolation.
• • AI/LLM Integration: RAG system (ChromaDB, Ollama embeddings, Mistral local LLM) for intelligent automation.
