Executive Overview

Expengo is an offline-first personal financial tracker built for speed. When a user buys a coffee or pays a toll, they can log the transaction in under 2 seconds, even underground in a subway with zero cellular reception.

Core Engineering Challenge

Most banking and budgeting apps force users to wait on spinners while communicating with distant cloud APIs. A weak 3G connection leads to dropped inputs, duplicate charges, and frustration.

Distributed Node Topology

Data pipeline flow and computational delegation across system layers:

NODE 01SQLite + WatermelonDB
Local Client Store
Encrypted offline B-tree database
NODE 02FaceID / Keychain
Biometric Barrier
Hardware secure enclave validation
NODE 03Automerge / Delta Sync
CRDT Sync Engine
Conflict-free event stream merger
NODE 04PostgreSQL Server
Ledger Vault
Archival ledger verification & backup
Architectural Strategy

Engineered around an offline-first paradigm using local SQLite and WatermelonDB. All mutations write synchronously to the local B-tree index in under 0.4ms. A background CRDT sync worker resolves state merges idempotently without data loss.
