AI Social Media Automation Platform – Backend System

I worked on the core backend of an AI-powered social media automation platform built for a client who wanted to simplify and automate content publishing across multiple platforms.

The focus was on building a reliable backend capable of handling scheduling, automation, and AI-generated content workflows.

What This Project Is

This platform enables users to:

Connect multiple social media accounts
Generate content using AI
Schedule and automate posts
Manage publishing from a single dashboard

Problem & Goal

The client needed a backend system that could:

Handle multiple social media platform integrations in one place
Support automated and scheduled posting
Manage authentication securely across different platforms
Ensure reliable execution of scheduled tasks

The goal was to build a clean and maintainable backend that supports real-world usage without unnecessary complexity.

Solution

I designed and developed the backend using:

Node.js for building APIs and core logic
PostgreSQL for structured data management

The system was built with a clear service structure, integrating platform APIs and a cron-based scheduling system to handle automation.

Key Features
