Matrimony Platform

A secure matrimonial platform built with ASP.NET Core featuring tiered membership, intelligent matchmaking, and robust authentication.

Overview

Developed a comprehensive matrimonial platform that enables users to create and manage profiles, discover compatible matches, and communicate securely. The system implements a tiered subscription model with different access levels and features.

Technical Highlights

• Backend: ASP.NET Core with clean architecture principles
• Real-time Communication: SignalR Hubs for WebSocket-based chat functionality
• Database: SQL Server with Entity Framework Core
• Authentication: JWT with refresh token rotation and account protection
• Security: Password hashing, input validation, account lockout after 5 failed attempts

Key Features

• Tiered Membership System: Free, Basic ($5), and Premium ($15) plans with increasing access levels
• Multi-Profile Management: Users can manage profiles for family members or themselves
• Intelligent Matchmaking: Preference-based algorithm with compatibility scoring (1-7)
• Secure Real-time Messaging: WebSocket-based private chat using SignalR for premium members
• Profile Analytics: Track profile views and engagement metrics
