Project Overview

Architected and developed GSRTracker, a comprehensive service request management platform serving aviation maintenance operations. The system handles complex workflows across multiple stakeholder groups including internal staff, clients, MRO partners, and regulatory authorities.

Built on .NET 10.0 Clean Architecture principles with separated layers (Domain, Application, Infrastructure), the backend provides robust API services while the React 19 + TypeScript frontend delivers a modern, responsive user experience with real-time collaboration capabilities.

Implemented sophisticated role-based access control (RBAC) with five distinct user roles, each with tailored UI experiences, permissions, and workflow capabilities. Real-time features powered by SignalR enable concurrent editing indicators, live notifications, and instant message delivery.

Technical Insights & Best Practices

Clean Architecture Benefits

  • Separation of Concerns: Domain, Application, and Infrastructure layers enable independent testing and maintenance of business logic
  • Technology Independence: Core business rules isolated from frameworks allow easy migration between data access technologies
  • Testability: Domain and Application layers fully unit testable without external dependencies
  • Maintainability: Clear boundaries between layers make codebase easier to understand and modify over time

Cloudflare Security & Performance

  • Web Application Firewall (WAF): Custom rules blocking malicious traffic, SQL injection attempts, and XSS attacks at the edge
  • DDoS Protection: Automatic mitigation of Layer 3/4 and Layer 7 DDoS attacks protecting application availability
  • DNS Management: Anycast DNS network with sub-second global propagation and DNSSEC for domain security
  • Zero Trust Security: Cloudflare Access providing identity-based access control for admin interfaces
  • Rate Limiting: API endpoint protection preventing abuse and ensuring fair usage across all users

AWS Infrastructure Strategy

  • S3 Document Storage: Secure, scalable object storage for service request attachments and documents with versioning enabled
  • CloudFront CDN: Global content delivery network reducing application load times by 70% for international users
  • RDS SQL Server: Managed database service with automated backups, multi-AZ deployment for high availability
  • ElastiCache Redis: In-memory caching for SignalR backplane enabling horizontal scaling across multiple EC2 instances
  • Application Load Balancer: Distributes traffic across instances with health checks and SSL termination

Real-Time Collaboration Patterns

  • SignalR Groups: Using service request GUID as group name efficiently routes messages to relevant users
  • Optimistic Concurrency: Client-side optimistic updates with server-side conflict resolution provide responsive UX
  • Redis Backplane: Enables horizontal scaling of SignalR across multiple server instances for high availability
  • Presence Management: Tracking active users per service request prevents conflicting edits and improves coordination

React Performance Optimization

  • TanStack Query: Intelligent caching and background refetching reduce unnecessary API calls by 60%
  • Code Splitting: Lazy loading routes and components reduced initial bundle size from 2.8MB to 450KB
  • Redux Toolkit: Normalized state management eliminates prop drilling and unnecessary re-renders
  • Virtual Scrolling: MUI DataGrid with virtualization handles 10,000+ row datasets smoothly

Testing Strategy Excellence

  • Unit Tests: Vitest for business logic testing with 85%+ code coverage on critical paths
  • Integration Tests: React Testing Library for component integration validation
  • Type Safety: TypeScript strict mode catches 90% of bugs at compile time
  • Regression Prevention: Comprehensive test suite with documented edge cases prevents bug reintroduction
