Technical Cases

Real projects. Critical challenges. Solutions that work in production.

Payments

High Availability Payment System

Challenge

A fintech needed to process ISO8583 transactions with multiple acquirers and guarantee automatic failover without transaction loss during traffic peaks.

Solution

We developed a transactional gateway with intelligent routing based on priority and cost, HSM integration for PIN encryption, automatic reconciliation and a resilient Kafka queue for delivery guarantees.

Technologies

Results

  • +99.9% uptime in production
  • Average latency of <150ms per transaction
  • Integration with 5 simultaneous acquirers
  • Zero transaction loss on failover
Secure Android

Secure Android SDK for Fintech

Challenge

A financial app in production was vulnerable to traffic interception attacks (MITM), root access and dynamic instrumentation via Frida on client devices.

Solution

We built an SDK with public key SSL Pinning (resistant to certificate replacement), runtime root and Frida detection, Play Integrity API validation and AES-256 encryption for sensitive data at rest.

Results

  • Zero interception incidents post-deploy
  • OWASP MASVS level 2 compliance
  • Active detection in 100% of compromised devices
  • Integration time: 2 days for partner teams
AI & Automation

Automation Platform with AI Agents

Challenge

A company with manual and repetitive operational processes spread across a legacy ERP, spreadsheets and third-party systems — each process took hours and was subject to human error.

Solution

We implemented AI agents with LangChain connected via n8n, with chain-of-thought reasoning for autonomous decision-making, REST/SOAP integrations for legacy systems and contextual memory to maintain state between executions.

Results

  • 70% reduction in manual operational work
  • Average time per process: 3h → 15min
  • 12 automated system integrations
  • Positive ROI in less than 3 months
Android Pentest

Security Assessment on Android Financial App

Challenge

A payment app about to go live needed an independent security assessment. The team had implemented protections (SSL Pinning, root detection, obfuscation), but without external validation oriented toward real attacks.

Solution

We conducted a full assessment with static analysis via JADX and Ghidra (secret detection, exposed native logic) and dynamic analysis with Frida — mapping real bypasses for each implemented protection. We delivered a report with evidence, CVSS scores and a prioritized remediation plan following OWASP MASTG.

Results

  • 11 vulnerabilities identified before go-live
  • SSL Pinning bypassed and fixed with public key implementation
  • Hardcoded AES key in native lib found via Ghidra
  • 100% of critical remediations applied before launch
Cloud & Scalability

Scalable and Observable Cloud Infrastructure

Challenge

A system with unpredictable traffic peaks caused timeouts, unavailability and no visibility into where bottlenecks were occurring — the team was reacting to incidents without concrete data.

Solution

We migrated to a cloud-native architecture with Kubernetes (HPA), Kafka messaging for service decoupling, a complete observability stack with OpenTelemetry + Prometheus + Grafana and real-time SLO dashboards.

Technologies

Results

  • 99.95% uptime after migration
  • Automatic scalability up to 10x without intervention
  • MTTR (resolution time) reduced by 80%
  • Infrastructure cost reduced by 35%
