My Contribution

As a metaverse platform, this project pushed me out of my comfort zone and brought back memories of my backend days.

Here is a list of what I worked on:

I collaborated with other programmers on the project’s refactoring. Our goal was to transition the project into a modular platform, using addressables and creating libraries with the behaviours of the main project.
I was appointed to set up an internal company npm registry server. After selecting which one we were going to use, I had to make changes in all of the project modules to turn them into packages and upload them to the server. I also configured Unity to show all existing packages in the registry server.
I worked on fixing some of the company’s minigames. Most of them were multiplayer and it also required some modifications in the multiplayer server.
Lastly, I collaborated with a team to create a user-friendly 3D Environment Generator what would be accessible to the clients. This would allow clients to independently create their own environments in a sandbox scene.

Despite the challenges, this period was truly rewarding. The company had a wonderful team and it was a great experience.
