Bo Zhou developed core real-time multiplayer features for the ParadigmsW24/Paradigms-Class-Project repository, focusing on user authentication, lobby management, and interactive UI flows. He implemented secure login and registration with password hashing and guest access, using Elixir and Phoenix LiveView to enable responsive, stateful web interfaces. Bo designed and refined a real-time lobby system supporting chat, private lobbies, and readiness countdowns, addressing edge-case bugs in broadcast and parameter handling. He enhanced user experience with animated login transitions and optimized lobby resource usage. His work demonstrated full stack proficiency, integrating backend logic, frontend animation, and robust real-time communication patterns in production code.
