Developed a real-time multiplayer game platform for the Pangolins repository, delivering secure authentication, live gameplay, and a streamlined user experience. The work combined ASP.NET Core and Entity Framework for backend scaffolding, database migrations, and robust user data handling, while the frontend leveraged Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS for responsive UI and state management. Integrated SignalR enabled synchronized game state and real-time communication between clients. The project included code refactoring, test reliability improvements, and code quality enhancements, resulting in faster release cycles and reduced regression risk. Features such as host controls, live leaderboards, and protected routes improved both security and gameplay.
