Hi everyone, My name is Guru Mohith, a 3rd year Computer Science student from India. I am writing to express my interest in the GSoC 2026 project: "Create a new backend for front end component POC" (FINERACT-2439).
Current Progress: I have successfully built the Fineract backend locally using Gradle/PostgreSQL and verified the API health endpoints are up and running. My Analysis & Approach: I’ve been studying the existing self-service code structure. Instead of wrapping admin APIs within the monolith, my proposal for this POC is to build a standalone Spring Boot application that acts as a Backend-for-Frontend (BFF). 1. Architecture: A separate lightweight Spring Boot service. 2. Communication: It will use the generated fineract-client (OpenAPI) to communicate with the Fineract Core. 3. Security: It will implement its own JWT-based auth for consumers, keeping customer credentials isolated from the core admin users. About Me: I am a Java Backend Engineer with experience building layered Spring Boot architectures. - GitHub: https://github.com/GuruMohith24 - Relevant Experience: I recently architected an Enterprise E-Commerce Backend implementing atomic transactions and JWT security, which aligns closely with the requirements for this Self-Service API. I am eager to start contributing. I will look for a "Good First Issue" on Jira to familiarize myself with the contribution workflow, but I would appreciate any feedback on the "Standalone BFF" architectural approach mentioned above. Best regards, Guru Mohith Java Backend Engineer | CS Undergrad
