I took on the technical challenge of building a voice-first social platform that
required real-time capabilities and complex data relationships. I led the development of key infrastructure
components, focusing on creating a scalable backend while ensuring a smooth user experience.
The project showcases my ability to architect complex systems, from implementing real-time WebSocket
notifications to designing efficient database schemas for social relationships. Working within a team
environment, I delivered enterprise-grade features that formed the backbone of the platform.
Key Features
- Real-time notification system using WebSockets and Supabase Realtime for instant updates
- Custom social graph implementation with bidirectional friend connections in PostgreSQL
- RESTful API layer with optimistic updates for responsive friend operations
- Secure file upload system integrated with Supabase storage
- Robust authentication flow with multiple providers
- WebSocket connection management with automatic reconnection handling
Frontend
- Integrated the backend services with the team's Next.js/React frontend.
- Implemented Tanstack Query for efficient state management and optimistic updates, significantly improving perceived performance.
- Built reusable hooks for WebSocket management and real-time data synchronization.
Backend
- Architected and implemented a real-time notification system using WebSockets and Supabase
- Realtime, ensuring reliable message delivery across multiple client sessions.
- Designed an efficient social graph schema in PostgreSQL, optimizing friend relationship queries and management.
- Built RESTful APIs with comprehensive validation and error handling.
Infrastructure
- Implemented a secure authentication flow using Supabase, supporting multiple providers and session management.
- Built a scalable file upload system with proper access controls and storage optimization.
- Set up WebSocket infrastructure with connection pooling and automatic recovery.
