Pipelinepharma operates a pharmaceutical licensing marketplace — connecting pharmaceutical companies looking to license drugs with potential partners globally. The highly regulated nature of pharmaceutical industry meant building systems with strict compliance requirements and audit trails.

I was a key driver of engineering innovation, building scalable backend systems and modern DevOps practices that enabled the platform to grow in this demanding domain.

$ cat CHALLENGES.md

Complex Regulatory Data Models

🔴 Challenge:

Pharmaceutical licensing involves complex relationships between drugs, territories, indications, and regulatory statuses that were difficult to query efficiently.

🟢 Solution:

Designed a flexible PostgreSQL schema with JSONB for variable attributes and proper indexing for common query patterns. Used Hasura to expose GraphQL API with fine-grained access controls.

Audit Trail Requirements

🔴 Challenge:

Regulatory compliance required complete audit trails for all data changes, but this couldn't impact application performance.

🟢 Solution:

Implemented event sourcing patterns for critical entities and PostgreSQL triggers for audit logging. Built a read-optimized audit query service for compliance reporting.

Working in Regulated Industries

Pharmaceutical software development is fundamentally different from typical web apps:

  • Every data change must be auditable
  • Access controls are legally mandated
  • Data integrity is paramount

This experience shaped my approach to building enterprise-grade systems.

GraphQL + Hasura Deep Dive

Hasura was a game-changer for our development velocity:

  1. Auto-generated GraphQL from PostgreSQL schemas
  2. Fine-grained permissions at the row and column level
  3. Real-time subscriptions for live updates
  4. Event triggers for workflow automation

This stack reduced API development time by 60% while maintaining type safety throughout.

Technologies: GraphQL, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, React, Node.js
