OMNI — Unit Trust Digitization Platform

OMNI is a unit trust digitization platform I built from scratch for ReGov Tech in Malaysia. Before OMNI, onboarding an investor into a unit trust fund meant paperwork. Physical forms, manual ID checks, documents passed between agents, branches, and headquarters. The whole process took days. The goal was to compress that into minutes and make compliance automatic instead of an afterthought.

The platform runs on AppSync GraphQL backed by 50+ Lambda functions split across two backend services: one client-facing and one for back-office operations. The database layer is a hybrid design that took real thought to get right. DynamoDB with DAX caching handles the high-throughput operations like lookups and fund queries with sub-millisecond reads. RDS MySQL handles the structured transactional data across 30+ tables where relational integrity matters. You cant do everything in one database and pretend its fine.

The onboarding flow covers personal information collection, risk assessment and profiling, OCR-based identity verification that reads ID cards and passports using Puppeteer, document uploads, and investment account setup with fund recommendations. On the compliance side, I built a full AML/EDD case management system. Anti-money laundering checks, enhanced due diligence workflows, risk-based assessments with audit trails, and HNW (high net worth) status determination. This is the stuff regulators actually look at.

The platform serves 6 user roles: clients, agents, branch staff, HQ finance, HQ operations, and compliance. Each role gets real-time dashboards showing exactly what they need. Agent order tracking, branch operations with daily transaction batches, EDD compliance reporting with monthly reports. Multi-channel notifications go out via SES email, SNS SMS, and Firebase push. PDF generation is automated with Handlebars templates and pdf-lib. What used to take days now takes minutes, and the compliance paper trail is built in from the start.
