Project Keystone

A landmark "Hard" project where we built a complete marketplace platform from scratch. This project established our capability to build complex, secure systems using a microservices architecture.

The Challenge

Real estate angel investors lacked a secure, exclusive platform to connect with vetted developers. Deals were managed through insecure email chains. They needed a trusted digital "Deal Room" to manage high-value investment flow.

Our Solution

We architected a secure marketplace with distinct Developer and Investor portals. The centerpiece was the Secure "Deal Room," an access-controlled space for confidential document exchange. We implemented our first formal Microservices architecture (User, Project, Deal Room services) and passed a mandatory third-party security audit.

Strategic Impact

Our "architectural graduation" to microservices. Proved we could deliver systems where trust and security were paramount. The security audit success became a key sales asset for future FinTech work.
