Media Certification Platform

Media Certification Platform

A blockchain based media certification platform to help combat fake news.

Responsibilities

I was the lead developer on this project.

I played a pivotal role in creating the prototype for the Media Certification Platform. My responsibilities included:

  • Designing the architecture of the platform
  • Implementing key features using React, Python, and Corda for the blockchain
  • Coordinating with the team to ensure smooth development
  • Testing the prototype rigorously to ensure it meets the requirements

Technology Stack

React Python FastAPI Firestore Corda Docker GCP

Challenges

The main challenge was to create a secure and scalable platform that could be used by the news team to certify media.

Keeping the requirements to an MVP scope was also a challenge. The team had many ideas for features that could be implemented in the future. It was important to keep the scope of the project to a minimum to ensure the project was delivered on time.

Results

The prototype has given good insights into the direction that the project needs to be taken in the future. The prototype has been used to demonstrate the concept to stakeholders and has been well received.
