Projects

Medlynks

Role: Full-stack Developer

As the sole developer, I successfully built a robust application from scratch using NestJS (TypeScript) for the back end and React (JavaScript) for the front end. Utilizing my expertise in these technologies, I ensured the app's performance, scalability, and user-friendliness. The app's designs, created in Figma, were translated into a high-quality user interface. I handled the continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) process using GitHub Actions on AWS, deploying the API to AWS Fargate for auto-scaling and the front end to Amazon S3. Noteworthy achievements include implementing advanced features such as a highly efficient search functionality for over 50,000 records, seamless integration of Google Maps with interactive markers, and real-time chat functionality using Socket.io. Overall, I aimed to deliver an exceptional user experience throughout the development process.

Role: Lead Software Engineer

As the lead software engineer for an innovative Facebook game, I had diverse responsibilities that involved combining interactive user engagement with a live stream experience. Built on the popular React framework, the game featured a user interaction layer that allowed active participation through game changes and mini-games. A key aspect of my role was effective communication with the client, ensuring their vision was reflected in the final product. This included understanding requirements, addressing concerns, and providing regular updates. Making critical game flow decisions and collaborating with designers and developers to iterate and refine features were vital tasks. Leveraging my React expertise and leadership skills, I aimed to create an immersive and captivating gameplay experience on Facebook.
