A real-time messaging platform on a Node.js and TypeScript WebSocket backend. I designed the data model, the REST and socket layers, and the event flow that keeps clients consistent across concurrent sessions, plus a large admin and analytics panel with usage reporting, moderation tooling, and the aggregation queries behind it. React Native client over the top.
Real-time fan-out over a raw WebSocket: keeping presence, typing state, reactions, and edits consistent across every participant in every shared chat, in real time.
The matchmaking engine: scoring queued users by interest compatibility while honoring gender/age filters and excluding mutually blocked pairs and existing chats.
The random-chat-to-friendship lifecycle. Temporary chats that auto-archive on expiry unless both users mutually friend each other.
Implementing AES-CBC message-content encryption on a mobile client with correct IV handling and padding.
A real trust-and-safety pipeline: video face verification with admin states, peer trust scoring, and live enforcement of suspensions through the socket.
Holding a strict MVVM structure across a large React Native codebase so the feature breadth stayed maintainable.
