Role : Backend Developer, Club Vegas Server Team
Work Period : February 26, 2024 - August 25, 2024
2. Key Tasks

3. Key Projects
I independently undertook the development work for the following projects:
Implementing Challenge Missions
I implemented the logic for rewarding items to users who achieve certain milestones or frequencies on third-party payment sites to facilitate third-party payments. I also implemented a system to send analytic data to the Data Analysis team to measure the revenue impact of these challenge missions and improved an in-house admin website that can manage milestones or frequencies tailored to each player. My task is to improve the company’s revenue.
Website Login Page Renewal
I developed a payment website login page that allows users to log in by clicking a button, which automatically launches the game app and logs them in. This task improved the login experience, allowing users to log in more easily.
Refactoring Event Rewards Logic
I refactored the code related to event rewards and developed both the frontend and backend code for the in-house admin website. This enhancement enabled game administrators to dynamically and easily configure event reward values.
Building a Backend Server to Support Third-Party Payments and New Game Items
I developed the logic for selling and configuring new game items by integrating with third-party payment webhooks and APIs. This integration enabled game administrators, via the in-house admin website, to dynamically configure and manage new game items for sale.
DevOps
I participated in AWS workshops and the AWS Summit, where I learned about the latest trends in cloud computing. While managing Club Vegas Studio’s infrastructure, I also gained experience in using Terraform and Kubernetes(EKS).
