Overview
By creating a centralized platform, I streamlined the discovery and tracking of anime, manga, movies, TV series, and books for Spanish-speaking users. Leveraging APIs from Jikan, TMDB, and Open Library, I ensured data accuracy and minimized performance issues.
Role
Full-Stack Solo Developer
Problem
Existing platforms failed to provide a single, stable hub for users to track and rate their favorite multimedia content, leading to poor user experience and inefficiencies.
Solution
Designed and developed Media Social, a web platform allowing users to create profiles, rate content, leave comments, and save favorites, while optimizing API integrations and caching data.
Impact
Approximately ~10,000+ users benefit from a centralized, efficient platform to manage and discover multimedia content, with ~90% reduction in performance issues and ~85% decrease in rate limit errors.
Learnings
Improved my ability to integrate multiple APIs, manage large datasets, and optimize caching systems for improved performance and scalability.
Highlights

- >Deployed a 24-hour caching system to reduce API calls by ~75% and improve performance.
- >Utilizado TypeScript y Zod para la validación de datos de entrada.
- >Desarrollé una interfaz moderna con Tailwind CSS y shadcn/ui.
