Overcoming Bottlenecks
Building a highly dynamic relational database structure that allowed vendors to string together multiple clue-types (QR code scanning, GPS check-ins, trivia) into cohesive 'hunts' instantly.
First-Principles Engineering
Architected a modular Angular frontend connected to a flexible REST API. Implemented strict state management to track user progress through multi-stage physical events without data loss upon browser refresh.
Business Impact
Retail Engagement
Proved concept by successfully redirecting mall traffic to targeted vendor booths using gamified incentives.
Enterprise Scalability
The robust vendor dashboard allowed the client to license the software to multiple exhibition centers simultaneously.
Real-Time Data
Organizers gained instant visibility into user drop-off rates and completion times.
