The Challenge

Retailers need speed and reliability at checkout. I built this POS to handle high-frequency transactions with zero lag and real-time inventory sync across branches.

Technical Implementation

Built with a MERN stack, I used Redis for caching frequent product lookups to keep checkout times under 100ms. Multi-branch management was implemented using a shared database with branch-level isolation.

Lessons Learned

Building mission-critical business software taught me the importance of data consistency and robust error handling in high-traffic environments.
