Elvellon (Web + Android + iOS) App

March 2015—ONGOING

http://elvellon.co

Elvellon is a world-class gaming community from Final Fantasy XIV comprised of multiple teams of 8 players who participate in organised weekly events. Elvellon required a solution to manage these teams and schedule events, with push notifications to accompanying mobile apps to remind members before every event.

I was the sole engineer on this project and built the entire system within the Meteor platform. This involved:
• Developing backend and frontend Javascript logic, some of which include;
• Automatically scraping data from official gaming site (FFXIV Lodestone)
• Interfacing with AWS (S3)
• Designing responsive UX/UI using HTML5/CSS3/Photoshop
• Designing non-relational MongoDB document schema
• Provisioning, deployment, and administration to CentOS machines on IaaS providers
• Integration testing

The MVP was completed in approximately 4 weeks. Testing is currently on-going for mobile versions, through distributed APK on Android and Apple's TestFlight on iOS.
