Worked extensively on creating single source of truth for data, using Retool on the frontend with Typescript monorepos on the backend and Prisma ORM for postgres database.

Added Prisma models to create postgres tables and Typescript services to interface with database. Refactored outdated Typescript code for rewards to make it more encapsulated and scalable. Rewrote payments service to use new data model, improve code structure, encapsulation, retryability in Temporal worfkflows, and scalability, and support an easier user experience.
