Pulse - Social Media Platform

Modern social platforms require high-throughput feed generation, responsive real-time interactions, and complex relationship mapping, which can quickly degrade API response times and database performance if not properly architected.

The strategy focused on combining an asynchronous, high-concurrency backend architecture with a modular, reactive frontend to deliver instant feed updates, low-latency social interactions, and scalable relational data management.

The user interface was crafted around a clean, distraction-free feed experience with an intuitive card-based layout, instant interactive engagement triggers (likes, comments, shares), quick-post creation modals, and rich user profile overviews.

Engineered as a full-stack social application utilizing FastAPI (Python) for asynchronous high-performance REST APIs, PostgreSQL for relational schema design and complex relational queries, and React for dynamic, state-driven UI rendering.

Delivered a performant, scalable social platform capable of executing rapid API cycles, handling dynamic feed interactions with minimal latency, and maintaining reliable relational data integrity across user networks.
