Senior Software Engineer

Rapchat•  November 2017 - Present

In my role as a Full Stack Engineer, I played a crucial part in improving our website's functionality and user experience. On the front end, I used my skills in React.js and Vue.js to give the user interface a fresh look, adding new features and diligently fixing any bugs to ensure smooth browsing. Additionally, I led the development of vital backend systems. This included creating a robust User Reporting system to make it easy for users to report issues. I also enhanced security and convenience by implementing Google and Apple authentication for user logins, and I streamlined user profile management for better control. Moreover, I tackled the challenge of making the website more resilient against spam and inappropriate content. This involved building a comprehensive Spam Restrictions and Prevention system, setting up an Email Verification system to confirm user identities, and automating the flagging of user-generated content that might be spammy, NSFW, or against image guidelines. These efforts collectively made the online environment safer and more user-friendly.Rapchat is a mobile and web application that empowers users to create music and raps effortlessly using a built-in studio directly from their smartphones.
