Core features and performance work on a large-scale guitar-lesson platform serving millions of active users — under high concurrent traffic.
01 · The Context & Challenge
GuitarTricks is a large-scale platform serving millions of active users. Traffic spikes are predictable and brutal: live user challenges concentrate thousands of concurrent sessions into the same windows, and every slow query or heavy render is visible immediately. Performance had to hold exactly when usage peaked.
02 · Technical Contributions
- Contributed core features to the platform as part of the product team.
- Optimized backend queries and frontend rendering to maintain performance under high concurrent traffic during live user challenges.
- Integrated Facebook Graph APIs for website traffic analysis, enabling the marketing team to make data-driven decisions that improved campaign targeting and engagement tracking.
