Showcase
- Galaxy Of Fame
- Factorio players can secure their place in the Galaxy Of Fame by uploading a snapshot of their savegame upon completing the Space Age DLC. I developed the Python backend and JavaScript (later migrated to TypeScript) frontend for this feature on factorio.com, and also prototyped the initial C++ implementation within the Factorio game itself.
- Browsertrix Proxies
- Designed and prototyped a new proxy system for the Browsertrix web archiving platform to allow flexible proxy configuration. Collaborated with the Webrecorder team to deploy the system to production. Facilitated the rollout by creating an Ansible playbook for rapid configuration of new proxy servers.
- Mod Portal
- Upgraded the Factorio Mod Portal's browse and search experience by implementing a htmx-based frontend. Introduced search-as-you-type functionality with result highlighting and facet counts. Reduced page load times by leveraging MongoDB aggregation queries and Redis caching.
