Over four months, Reik built and enhanced real-time multiplayer infrastructure and gameplay features for legends-of-kaotika/kaotika-battle-server and Oskar-Dam/kaotika-battle-web. He established a scalable Express and Socket.IO backend, implemented a Mongoose-based player data model, and later refactored the backend to remove MongoDB persistence in favor of external APIs. On the frontend, Reik delivered animation and combat UX improvements using React and TypeScript, modularized components for maintainability, and consolidated test suites to streamline coverage. His work focused on robust state management, clear player feedback, and maintainable code, demonstrating depth in both backend architecture and frontend user experience engineering.
