Designed a 4-service gRPC/Protobuf modular monolith (ERP Core, Synapse identity resolution, Knowledge with pgvector search, and Mera Brain). Enforced multi-tenant isolation using PostgreSQL Row-Level Security with transaction-scoped context. Built AI observability for prompts, reasoning steps, tool calls, and retrieved chunks in Grafana/Prometheus to monitor token usage and RAG latency.
