Software engineer. Writing about what I build, learn, and notice across tech.

In Arena Survivors, weapons fire automatically while you dodge through 20 waves, evolve your build, fight bosses, or team up in 2-player online co-op.

Our chat component took 2.8s to render.
Users were staring at a blank screen every time they opened a conversation.

Result: ~70% faster renders. Chat opens instantly even with 1000+ messages. Shipped in under 2 weeks.
Lesson: profile first. The bottleneck is never where you think.
