Web Development Intern at Sunshine Insurance Group

Designed a Collaborative Filtering plus Content-Based hybrid recommendation system for 50,000+ MAU, combining user-profile tags with TF-IDF cosine similarity; added a cold-start fallback for new users, improving click-through rate by approximately 20% versus content-only filtering. Used MySQL EXPLAIN to locate N+1 query bottlenecks and missing composite indexes; restructured tables and added indexes; introduced batch queries in the Node.js layer to replace loop-per-record requests, reducing query latency by 40% and bringing the recommendation API P99 within SLA. Led the definition of RESTful API documentation and a unified error-code system, standardizing request/response data structures and cutting average front–back-end integration cycles from 3 days to 1 day. Implemented recommendation display components in React with lazy loading and skeleton screens; wrote Jest unit tests and API documentation; completed grey-release and regression verification with zero production incidents.
