Achievements

  • Reduced application page load time from 7 seconds to 0.5 seconds

    Token MetricsToken Metrics

    Token Metrics is a crypto analytics platform that displays historical data of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, similar to a trading website. The website was initially slow, taking an average of 7 seconds to load the page and data. I redesigned and optimized the system architecture, introducing caching at different levels, including server-side and client-side caching, as well as request-level caching. As a result, the page now loads in about half a second (0.5 seconds).

  • Built NFT Minting page in record time
