My Role and Contributions
As the Backend Developer, I was responsible for designing and implementing the entire backend infrastructure, focusing on building a secure, scalable, and high-performance system. Additionally, I contributed to frontend development to ensure a smooth and cohesive user experience. Below are my specific contributions:
Backend Development:
- API Development with Go and Go Fiber: Developed RESTful APIs using Go Fiber for handling core functionalities such as user authentication, content management, and real-time notifications, ensuring efficient client-server communication.
- Database Management with PostgreSQL and GORM: Designed and implemented a secure and optimized database structure using PostgreSQL and GORM to ensure data integrity and efficient data handling.
- Authentication & Security: Implemented a robust authentication system using JWT for session management, including Google login, email verification, and password recovery.
- Task Queue with Redis: Integrated Redis to manage background tasks such as sending email notifications for user registration, email verification, and password reset requests. This ensured asynchronous processing, improving performance and user experience.
- Containerization with Docker: Containerized backend services using Docker to maintain consistency across development and production environments, enabling easy deployment and scaling of the application.
Frontend Contributions:
