the problem
Personal finance data is sensitive by default, so a tracking tool needs to treat security and durability as core requirements, not add-ons.
what I did
- Built a MERN-stack application (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) for tracking personal financial activity.
- Delivered real-time financial insights to users as their data changes.
- Added encryption for stored financial data and automated backups to protect against data loss.
decisions that mattered
Architecture

Security
Financial data encrypted at rest, with automated backups guarding against loss.
Real-time insights
Financial summaries update as new activity comes in, instead of on a fixed batch schedule.

what I learned
For data this sensitive, encryption and backups aren't features to add later — they shape the schema and data flow from day one.
