What is Filomena?

Filomena is a production-grade medical exam platform originally developed as my Systems Engineering Final Year Project at Universidad Nacional del Sur (UNS).

The project evolved from an academic capstone into a platform actively used by 5 Argentine national health science institutions for high-stakes exam delivery. It supports the full assessment lifecycle: exam creation, scheduling, concurrent delivery, automated grading, role-based access control, anonymity enforcement, and full-stack observability.


My role

I led the end-to-end modernization and productization of the platform, covering backend architecture, frontend experience, database performance, infrastructure automation, CI/CD, observability, and production-readiness.

The result is not only a working application, but a maintainable system designed for real institutional usage, concurrent exam sessions, operational visibility, and safer releases.


The problem

The previous CakePHP + jQuery monolith had accumulated technical debt and was reaching its operational limits:
