RL Garage for Rocket League

RL Garage为用户的手机带来了最大的火箭联盟交易和汽车设计平台. 它提供交易后的优惠，并将用户与其他玩家联系起来. As the official companion app for rocket-league.com, designed and optimized for mobile, RL Garage is the largest trading platform for Rocket League, with over 5,000,000 registered users.

我是这个项目的主要移动应用程序开发人员，编写了其中95%的代码. Along with development, 我编写了许多与数据库交互的API端点，并监督Node.在AWS上运行的应用程序，生成火箭联盟的游戏截图.

As one of the owners, 我每天也通过我们的Discord服务器与200多名用户进行互动,000 members, support ticketing system, and the app or website messaging system.

Cloudflare Worker to Cache API

This project was for RL Garage for Rocket League. Every day at 3 PM EST, 我们向用户发送了推送通知，让他们知道游戏道具商店已经更新, resulting in a tremendous amount of traffic hitting our back end.

To curb this, 我在我们的API之上构建了一个Cloudflare Workers来缓存最受影响的端点，从而将服务器上的负载减少到以前的四分之一. 当我试图减少我们的服务器负载和数据库崩溃，并降低我们在AWS上的服务器成本时，我产生了这个想法. 这个worker是用JavaScript编写的，使用Cloudflare Workers缓存API.

Conversation Element in Lessonly

React app built upon original React on Rails application. 该平台是为管理者和雇主设计的，旨在为员工制定课程计划，以更好地履行工作职责或为他们提供新的职责. 这就像做ppt一样，但有更强大的工具，比如进度跟踪, quiz taking, and video and audio recording.

My duties on this project varied over time. 我所从事的最大的任务之一是在课程中引入一种叫做对话的新元素类型. 它包括创建一个自定义的测试对话，并在对话期间询问参与者的最佳回答. The target audience for this was customer support agents. 我实现了创建和获取这个课程元素的大部分前端.

During the implementation of this project, 为了满足要求，我直接与产品和工程总监合作. 我还与设计团队合作，确保产品符合我们最新的设计准则，并为我们的技术提供可行和不可行的指导.
