Dramatically improved application performance by converting blocking persistence endpoints into a message-queued workflow for heavy calculations. Replaced inefficient stored procedures with event-driven systems (SNS/SQS Lambda) to pre-compute data sets and adjusted indexes for efficiency. Rewrote queries with filters on derived values to bypass indexes, cutting API response times from 30+ seconds to sub-second. Also extended web-app reporting and analytics exports using ChartJS and React.
