Implemented real-time peer to peer communication through sockets via Node server, reducing latency of data transfer between multiple clients with minimized TCP connections through the mediator design pattern
Set up direct connections between clients’ users through WebRTC, allowing apps to serve static files directly between browsers through RTCDataChannels
Enabled highly efficient WebRTC connections by effectively redesigning the architecture of negotiation processes between clients and the express server
Prioritized visible content on initial load through the browser API, enabling users to determine when assets would be served from the server versus peer-to-peer to optimize performance
Geolocated user radius via IP address to intelligently route to nearby users and reduce network request latency

The Spectrum Report | News Aggregator to view articles based on a political bias
Used React/Redux to build modular components in a single page application, avoiding costly re-rendering of constant news article searches and updates as users scroll through the bias spectrum scroller
Reduced request latency through promise-based thunk middleware and chained multiple async API requests
Used MongoDB to cache popular news articles to optimize read and write speeds, limiting expensive News API calls by caching fetched data
MatchEx | Allows users to match with others with similar likes and preferences
Enabled navigational components for conditional and responsive rendering based on state driven user interaction such as Signup/Login through React-Router, ultimately minimizing http requests for every user action
Implemented SQL database taking advantage of relational tables to set and retrieve user profiles - maintaining data integrity through type and validity checking
Implemented user registration and login functionality through React/Redux and React-Router to effectively manage state with unidirectional data flow and reduce latency in rendering view depending on login success or failure
Cryptography | Cryptocurrency Exchange Aggregator
Collected and parsed user wallet balance and current price listings with express middleware and promises to make multiple asynchronous API calls to various cryptocurrency exchanges
Implemented user wallet authentication using PostgreSQL to have multiple relations between users and relative exchange API keys and secrets for each user
