Around: A Cloud and React based Social Network

Frontend

• Designed and implemented a social network web application with React JS.
• Implemented features for users to create and browse posts and support search nearby posts.
• Improved the authentication using token based registration/login/logout flow with React Router v4 and server-side user authentication with JWT.

Backend

• Launched a scalable web service in Go to handle posts and deployed to Goole Cloud (Google App Engine)
• Used ElasticSearch ( deployed to GCE) to provide search functions such that users can search recent posts and list personal posts.

• Implemented Rest API via Spring MVC including registration, menu searching, ordering, checkout, etc.
• Utilized Hibernate to access and operate the data storage (menu, restaurants, etc.)
• Provided both authentication and authorization via Spring security to protect the application from malicious attacks.
• Used the Spring framework core technologies to decouple all the components in the application loosely.
• Build the client side with ReactJS and Ant Design to allow users to add items to the shopping cart and place orders.

• Designed and developed a visualization dashboard using ReactJS and D3 to track satellites in real-time based on geolocation.
• Built location, altitude, and duration based selector to refine satellite search.
• Animated selected satellite paths on a world map using D3 to improve the user friendliness.
• Deploted the dashboard to Amazon Web Service for demonstration.
