    I built an open platform API from scratch, based on React, SpringBootGateway, and RPC technology. Administrators can access and publish interfaces, as well as visualize the calling status of each interface. Users can enable interface calling permissions, browse interfaces, and debug online, and easily call interfaces through the client SDK.

    •  Used Ant Design Pro to quickly build the basic page, slimmed down the original template and abstracted it into a reusable public template, increased the development efficiency by 80%.

    •  Developed starters, the user only needs to worry about which SDK to use and which parameters to transfer, just as easily as calling the code they wrote themselves.

    •  Used AOP, don’t modify the original interface code to implement function usage statistics, code decoupling, and unified processing.

    •  Implemented RPC interface, used remote methods just like calling local methods, made it more transparent to users and reducing communication costs, supported HTTP and TCP/IP, improved performance by 20%.

    •  Created and performed 50+ automated unit tests with Junit, expanding code coverage to 80%, minimized bugs introduced in new features deployment.

    Department of Recreation and Wellness

    Since I was a child, I have loved football, and during the process of growing up. I have developed a strong interest in the role of a football referee. Referees play a pivotal role in the game, both as administrators and defenders of fair play. In addition to mastering various penalty rules and skills in the game, I also possess the ability to make calm and decisive decisions in unexpected situations.
