Project Deep Dive

Select one project you have personally contributed to significantly and explain it in depth. Your explanation should cover:

• The core problem the project aimed to solve.
• The target users or customers.
• The main functional and non-functional requirements.
• The overall architecture and critical components.
• The data flow within the system.
• The choices made regarding data storage and APIs.
• Considerations for reliability and scaling.
• Key technical and business tradeoffs that were made during its development.

Be explicit about your personal ownership and specific contributions to the project. Describe one particularly difficult technical problem you encountered and how you addressed it. Explain how the success of the project was measured. Finally, reflect on what improvements you would make if you were to redesign the project today. As part of your explanation, you must draw or clearly describe the system diagram.
