// 01 · Challenge

What they brought us

Building a secure and scalable payment processing system that businesses could integrate quickly. Payments demand strict correctness, auditability and defense in depth, without making the API painful to adopt.

// 02 · Solution

What we built

Developed an enterprise-grade payment gateway with layered security, fraud controls and a clean integration API, designed so integrators get safe defaults out of the box.

// 03 · Approach

How we worked

01

Threat modeling first

Started from the attacker's view: mapped the trust boundaries, abuse cases and failure modes before writing the first endpoint.

02

API design

Designed an idempotent, versioned payment API with safe defaults, clear error semantics and predictable webhooks.

03

Security controls

Implemented layered controls: encryption in transit and at rest, key isolation, rate limiting, audit logging and fraud checks in the transaction path.

04

Scale and reliability

Built on PostgreSQL and Redis with careful transaction design, then load-tested the transaction path and tuned the hot spots.
