J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.: Midas Core - Advanced Software Engineering Forage program

This repository contains my completed solution for the Midas Core advanced software engineering program offered by J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. via Forage.

Project Overview

Midas Core is a backend-focused component of the Midas system, that receives, validates, and records financial transactions. It depends on Kafka to receive new transactions, a SQL database to record and validate them, and a REST API to incentivize them. My job over the course of this program was to integrate all of these disparate resources into the final system.

Technologies Used

• Java (Spring Boot)
• Apache Kafka
• Maven
