Designed and implemented server-client architecture for a browser-based real-time multiplayer game including matchmaking, physics simulation, and synchronized player states. Addressed lag spikes and desynchronization during peak player load by introducing delta state updates, Redis-based pub/sub channels, and region-based AWS server deployment, reducing average latency by 40%.
Developed scalable backend infrastructure for real-time multiplayer games including player session management, leaderboards, and game state persistence. Mitigated CPU spikes and player disconnects from high concurrency by implementing sharded game rooms, connection pooling, and Kubernetes HPA load balancing, enabling 10k+ concurrent players without downtime.
Created browser-based multiplayer minigames featuring real-time leaderboards and chat capabilities. Improved input responsiveness in competitive sessions by optimizing WebSocket packet sizes and introducing adaptive tick rates, increasing responsiveness by 25%.
