Full Stack Engineer - Benjamin Kang

METALCORE is a multiplayer web3 action shooter game played on the Immutable zkEVM blockchain. I was responsible for building METALCORE Missions, an idle full-stack game that is played directly on the browser. I created Missions using Next.js and React on the frontend, Node.js on the backend, and Microsoft Azure to deploy the applications to production.

In addition, I was responsible for creating an Administration Portal and Account Settings for players to manage account and review player data via Microsoft PlayFab integration.

Lastly, I maintained and designed the marketing website at https://metalcore.gg using Webflow and Figma/Sketch for UX/UI mockups.
