- MongoDB
- Express.js
- React.js
- Node.js
Problem
Research teams needed a platform for workflows, role-based access, CMS content, and large report generation — without crashing under heavy export loads or collapsing permissions into a single admin role.
Approach
Built the full stack: MongoDB schema for research workflows, Express REST APIs with JWT + RBAC, a React front end for operators, automated PDF report generation, and Node.js streams for high-volume data exports that avoid memory spikes.
Architecture
- MongoDB schema designed around research workflows and multi-role access
- JWT authentication with RBAC for distinct operator and admin responsibilities
- CMS layer for managing research content without redeploys
- Automated PDF report generation for client-facing deliverables
- Stream-based export pipeline to keep large datasets out of process memory
Outcomes
- Stable large-report generation without memory spikes during exports
- Clear API and schema ownership for multi-role research operations
- End-to-end delivery from data model through operator UI
