Project Description
CovCT is a government-grade digital platform built to track real-time GPS location for millions of users under strict public-sector data protection requirements. We engineered the system to consistently deliver sub-2-second responses while operating on extremely constrained infrastructure budgets. Over two years in production, the platform supported deployments for multiple governments across APAC and Europe, remained resilient through multiple DDoS attempts, and recorded no reported security incidents throughout operations.
Key Technical Decisions
Designed a performance-first architecture for real-time GPS ingestion + querying, maintaining < 2s responsiveness at scale
Implemented DigitalOcean autoscaling to handle surge traffic efficiently while keeping costs tightly controlled
Built a resilient data layer with master–replica database topology to reduce downtime risk during peak periods
Hardened the security perimeter with WAF + DDoS protection, proven through multiple real-world attack events (as provided)
Enabled zero-downtime CI/CD via Bitbucket Pipelines to ship safely during continuous operations
Applied compliance-aligned engineering practices for GDPR and PCI (as provided), supporting public-sector privacy expectations
