Global Tax Compliance Microservices
A high-impact, enterprise-scale replacement for third-party VAT management software
Project Overview
Architected a dual-microservice Python ecosystem designed to automate the retrieval and processing of international VAT data, successfully replacing a £250k enterprise vendor solution within a month.
Key Features:
• Automated Data Generation: Developed a specialized Python service that interfaces with global tax data sources to generate real-time VAT API JSON payloads.
• Consumption & Analytics Engine: Engineered a secondary microservice that consumes complex JSON data to power an automated, real-time institutional dashboard.
• Strategic Cost-Optimization: Delivered a robust in-house alternative to a high-cost third-party platform, resulting in significant capital savings and removing external vendor dependency.
• Scalable Microservices Architecture: Leveraged decoupled services to ensure high scalability, independent maintenance, and seamless data flow across the University’s infrastructure.
• Rapid Agile Deployment: Executed the full design, development, and integration phase within two weeks to meet urgent global compliance deadlines.
This project demonstrates an elite ability to translate high-cost business requirements into lean, high-performance technical solutions. By bypassing expensive enterprise dependencies, this architecture provides Oxford with a proprietary, secure, and highly agile method for managing global tax compliance at scale.
