FreightRate AI
Backend / Logistics SaaS
May 2026 - In Progress
A containerized logistics-focused freight quote system designed for cloud deployment.
Problem
Freight pricing is rarely a fixed-rate calculation. A quote can change based on origin and destination, zone mapping, actual weight, volumetric weight, chargeable weight, carrier-specific rules, fuel surcharge, GST, minimum charges, and business-specific exceptions. If those rules are not modeled clearly, the system becomes hard to test and harder to explain to users.
My Contribution
I am designing the backend architecture, quote flow, data model, service boundaries, Docker setup, Redis caching plan, and AI explanation layer. My focus is on keeping the pricing calculation deterministic and testable while using AI only to explain the calculated result.
