Notifications Reporting System

Created a small team of two back-end developers as a senior front-end developer three years ago. After two weeks, the other two back-end developers resigned. I had to learn Scala and take over the whole project while creating a new reporting system. With that workload, I made both the back end and front end for that reporting system that handles an extremely high volume of user notification data (including sent email, SMS, and app notifications for a wide range of apps) and creates dynamic dashboards with fast socket data. This way users may see what kind of notification is sent to which segment of users and for what purpose.

Lead Engineer of UI Infrastructure

Led a UI Infrastructure team. We rebuilt the whole UI low code system from scratch with the editor, changed components with Vue.js integration, Kotlin export, and Swift export. We diminished UI creation costs by nearly 25% by empowering citizen developers to create all UI screens. I developed this by myself in my spare time with a window management system that both editors and generated UI's can use to dock, resize, and create user-specific layouts.

Freelance Game Engine

Took on client work of creating a simple game engine with PixiJS , but they said they might need new features in the future. So I suggested a new project plan that includes a plugin system that everything is a plugin. Then, I created core plugins including three different physics engine integrations, using PixiJS including a 2D renderer, audio player, and other components. I created two demo games inside the engine's WYSIWYG web builders and code editor.
