Spearheaded the development of a voting platform using NextJS SSR to reduce initial load time and optimize delivery of the application’s growing library of visual and audio files. Added Web3 compatibility by leveraging Pinata to pin the platform’s voting data on IPFS and integrating Wagmi to enable users to perform blockchain interactions and transactions. Oversaw the migration from a non-relational database to PostgreSQL for future scalability. Launched three features in a month to test user engagement; parallax scrolling for media display, customizable and persistent audio player, and featured artists page.

Reduced React bundle size from 4MB to ~ 800kb by configuring code splitting and lazy loading, and eliminating function binding and constructor initializers in class components. Implemented in-memory caching of user-specific data using local storage, minimizing redundant server calls and preventing unnecessary rerenders. Integrated custom component library via Storybook to modularize development across teams. Identified pain points through tracking user behaviour and created customizable workflow buttons to reduce the number of clicks and time required to complete common tasks. Redesigned SQL database schema via Alembic to improve data query latency by minimizing table joins, utilizing pagination, and implementing in-memory caching of user-specific queries. Automated alert system by exposing a secure API via Websockets to render the real-time status of user-customizable rule generation and synchronization.

Implemented a robust testing suite with Jest, Supertest, Enzyme, and Puppeteer, utilizing fault injection and recovery testing for application reliability and desired functionality. Integrated the application’s CI/CD workflow for the detection of unwanted side effects. Maintained custom YAML files that utilize a recursive parsing algorithm to automate React component creation and prop passing, providing a seamless development process for content to be created and updated by non-technical team members. Utilized Docker to decentralize architecture and enable communication among containerized environments, improving workflow and integration.
