Case study
Payment gateway and MVAS
Payment and mobile value-added services that complete against telecom networks, not only an internal checkout screen.

- Role
- Software developer — payment and MVAS services
- Stack
- GoNode.jsMongoDBNSQSMSUSSDIVR
- Result
- Production payment gateway and MVAS integrations.
Problem
Product flows needed to charge and deliver value through operator channels. A payment page that never talks to SMS, USSD, or IVR is not the real system.
What I owned
Software developer — payment and MVAS services
What I built
- Build payment gateway and MVAS capabilities, including direct carrier billing.
- Integrate telecom APIs (SMS, USSD, IVR).
- Keep internal services and MongoDB access honest under production load.
System shape
Request path through application APIs into payment/MVAS services, with telecom adapters for SMS, USSD, and IVR. Background work is not assumed to finish inside the HTTP request.
What changed
Operators and customers hit a real network path. Failures show up as failed charges or undelivered services, not as a missing mock.
Outcome
Production payment gateway and MVAS integrations.
