Aurora Core: Double-Entry Immutable Ledger
Financial transaction engine supporting strict ACID guarantees, cryptographic audit trails, and multi-currency exchange balancing.
Problem & Root Cause
Legacy financial system relied on single-entry balance rows that periodically drifted during race conditions, requiring manual reconciliation at end of day.
System Architecture Strategy
Constructed an immutable, append-only double-entry ledger in PostgreSQL with strict constraints, optimistic locking, and a Next.js administrative treasury portal.

Personal Engineering Contribution:
Sole author of core SQL migration schema, transaction locking strategy, and full-stack administration dashboard.
Verified Production Metrics
- Eliminated 100% of balance discrepancies across 14M transactions
- Passed SOC2 Type II compliance audit with zero discrepancies
- Enabled audited real-time settlement in under 120ms
Edge Cases & Lessons Learned
Preventing deadlocks under concurrent debit/credit requests required deterministic account ID sorting before acquiring row-level locks.
