Projects

Project case studies

These are the builds I want recruiters to evaluate me by: real systems with service boundaries, runtime constraints, tooling, tests, and follow-through.

Full-stack product system

Featured build

Pokemon Go Nexus

A full-stack Pokemon GO platform with React web/mobile clients, Go and Express services, Kafka event sync, geospatial search, and persistent storage.

Additional details
Architecture

Split the product into auth, Pokemon API, location, receiver/storage, search, users, and events services so each concern has a clear boundary.

Data flow

Designed frontend update batching through Kafka producers and Go consumers into MySQL persistence and SSE readers.

Clients

Built around a React web app, Expo mobile shell, shared contracts, shared UI tokens, IndexedDB state, and live update flows.

Delivery

Added Docker and NGINX service wiring, backups, shared frontend packages, Vitest coverage, and docs for local and deployment workflows.

Go game analytics backend

WinRift

A League of Legends analytics platform with a Go API, Riot Games API collector worker, ClickHouse read models, React UI, Docker deployment, and rate-limit-aware data ingestion.

Additional details
Go core

Built separate Go API, Riot Games API collector worker, monitor, and patch archive entrypoints around game-data collection and analytics reads.

Data pipeline

Normalized Riot Games match, timeline, rank, and static-data payloads into ClickHouse tables and app-facing read models.

Operations

Documented private-server deployment with Docker Compose, environment isolation, worker health checks, and GitHub Actions image delivery.

Product surface

Built champion guides, matchup views, tier lists, summoner profiles, and live scouting flows on top of stored analytics.

C++ engine and game systems

Pokemon Autochess

An engine-first C++20 auto-battler prototype with app loop/window/input infrastructure, OpenGL and Direct3D 12 rendering, Lua gameplay, VFX tooling, and headless tests.

Additional details
Engine

Built reusable engine modules for app lifecycle, system registration, resources, UI, camera and board rendering, model loading, animation, and render caches.

Rendering

Maintained OpenGL and Direct3D 12 paths with shader/resource caches, runtime smoke tests, and optimized render hot paths.

Runtime

Composed placement and combat states with round, shop, movement, combat, bench, card, battle feed, health bar, and Lua tuning systems.

Tooling

Added VFX preview tools, JSON config validation, packaged content bundles, release scripts, installer support, and smoke/invariant tests.
