Conceptual system illustration. Web and Android share one public API. Business rules and permissions remain in the backend; AI services sit behind that boundary.

The problem

Choosing a meal involves more than a model score. Preferences, dietary constraints, budget, and the visibility of shared records all need to remain consistent across web and mobile clients.

My contribution

Handled backend and web development, AI integration, infrastructure, and delivery throughout the team project.

Engineering decisions

  • One public boundary

    Spring Boot owns authentication, permissions, validation, and persistence. Clients use a shared API; private AI services receive only the context assembled by the backend.

  • Rules before recommendations

    Hard constraints filter candidates before ranking. Agent responses are validated before storage, and a deterministic fallback keeps the recommendation flow usable when a private service fails.

  • Treat integration as part of the product

    Versioned contracts, Flyway migrations, architecture tests, and an immutable release manifest help the separate repositories move together. Cloud delivery uses digest-pinned images and readiness checks.

Delivery & scope

The documented demo/staging environment uses EC2, Caddy, and private RDS PostgreSQL. Web and Android clients share the backend; model packaging and evaluation remain experimental.
