PROJECT 03 / STOCK MARKET PROJECT
Live prices without the constant refreshing.
I worked on the backend structure for a stock-monitoring project, including market data, analysis and user services. The dashboard shown here is a concept for how those pieces could come together on one screen.

01 / CONTEXT
What we were trying to solve
Market information can come from several services and quickly become difficult to follow. This project explored how data, analysis and user-facing services could be separated into smaller backend components.
The work is presented as a backend and architecture prototype, not a finished live platform.
02 / BACKEND
The backend structure
I worked on the backend structure for market data, analysis and user services, with database storage and an API or monitoring layer around them.
The concept stops at the service boundaries and data flow. It does not present alerts or live updates as finished features.
03 / CONCEPT
How the concept could look
The interface is a portfolio concept showing how the backend pieces could be presented together.
- 01Market-data service
- 02Analysis service
- 03User service
- 04API or monitoring layer
- 05Database storage
- 06Service communication
04 / SERVICE VIEW
A backend structure, shown as one interface.
The supporting diagrams keep the architecture and request flow separate from the market-monitoring concept.
SERVICE ARCHITECTURE
RESPONSIBILITY MAP
STORED MARKET + USER DATA
REQUEST / DATA FLOW
CONCEPTUAL PATH
- 01REQUEST
A monitor view asks for market or analysis data.
- 02ROUTE
The API sends the request to the relevant service.
- 03READ / WRITE
The service works with its stored data.
- 04RESPONSE
The result returns to the monitoring layer.
05 / REFLECTION
What I learned
A backend becomes easier to reason about when every service has one clear responsibility.
- 01
Separating services makes the data flow easier to document.
- 02
Architecture diagrams can explain work that does not have a polished interface.
- 03
A good concept still needs to stay honest about the difference between an idea and a finished product.
WHERE IT STANDS NOW
A backend and architecture prototype with a portfolio interface concept.
The visual shows one possible presentation of the service structure without claiming live market behaviour.
