----------------------------------------
Hi @jdailey, I've been following the discussion and I’m also interested in this
project for GSoC 2026.
I’m a backend developer and my main strength is building REST APIs. I’d like to
focus on the 'Aggregator' part of this POC basically building a clean middle
layer that pulls all the messy data from Fineract (accounts, transactions,
etc.) and combines it into simple, fast responses for the frontend.
I'm not that good security, but I can handle the logic and use standard Spring
Security to keep the endpoints locked down. I think focusing on a few really
solid, high-performance endpoints (like a single 'Dashboard' call) would be a
great way to prove the concept.
By a 'Single Dashboard' call, I mean creating a composite endpoint something
like {{{}/self/dashboard{}}}—that aggregates several backend resources into one.
Instead of a mobile app making four separate requests for client details,
savings accounts, loan status, and recent transactions, the BFF would handle
those calls internally on the server side. It would then return a single,
lightweight JSON response. This significantly improves performance on
low-bandwidth mobile networks and simplifies the work for the frontend
developer. For a POC, I think proving this 'one-call' data orchestration is a
high-value starting point.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!.

> h3. *Build a Self-Service API Component that Connects to Apache Fineract*
> When the project removed self-service APIs in 2025, it did so understanding
> that we would need an outside component to make that connection as part of an
> overall solution.
> This project is to create - as a Proof of Concept (POC) - a new dedicated
> Self-Service API component or service that integration with Fineract backend.
> It will need to expose APIs to consumer facing applications for typical
> activities like viewing account balances, transaction initiation, loan
> application, etc.
> The idea is for GSOC candidates to propose a design and build the POC.
> Minimal criteria include testing, authentication methodology, documentation.
> Not included in this GSOC would be the end consumer APP, although that may be
> undertaken by another project and coordination would be needed.
