AI-Powered FinTech Investment Portfolio Platform

Overview

A rapidly growing FinTech startup approached Taskew Solutions to develop a sophisticated, AI-driven investment portfolio management platform that would differentiate them in a competitive market. The platform needed to provide real-time portfolio analytics, AI-powered investment recommendations, and automated risk assessment—all while meeting stringent SOC2 Type II compliance requirements for handling sensitive financial data.

Our team designed and built a modern, serverless architecture leveraging Next.js for the frontend, Vercel for edge deployment, MongoDB Atlas for flexible data storage, and AWS S3 for secure document management. The result is a lightning-fast, globally distributed platform that processes millions of data points daily while maintaining the highest security and compliance standards.

The Challenge

The client faced several critical challenges:

• Regulatory Compliance: Required SOC2 Type II certification to win enterprise clients and institutional partnerships
• Real-Time Performance: Needed sub-second response times for portfolio analytics across global user base
• AI Integration: Required sophisticated machine learning models for investment recommendations without sacrificing user experience
• Data Security: Must protect sensitive financial data and personally identifiable information (PII) with enterprise-grade security
• Scalability: Platform needed to handle unpredictable traffic spikes during market volatility
• Document Management: Secure storage and retrieval of financial documents, statements, and regulatory filings

The existing MVP was built on a monolithic architecture that couldn't scale, lacked proper security controls, and had no compliance framework. A complete redesign was necessary.

The Solution

Taskew Solutions delivered a comprehensive platform transformation, rebuilding the application with a modern, serverless-first architecture while simultaneously implementing a full SOC2 compliance program.

Modern Architecture Design

We designed a cutting-edge architecture optimized for performance, security, and scalability:
