Applied Primate Engineering Intranet—Web App
The Client
Fragment uses puzzles, comics, and community events to tell stories through its Applied Primate project. I came on board as their first software developer in Spring 2022, and contributed to many of their projects, especially those relating to their Applied Primate Keycards.
The Project
For their March 2023 event, Fragment introduced a significant game mechanic: players were given the option to choose a faction by burning their on-chain allegiance pass, thereby making their decision a permanent part of the blockchain. This feature was crucial as it directly influenced the game's narrative, aligning players with a faction and enabling them to experience collective victories or losses through a sequence of four puzzle events that culminated in a Mega Mutant Melee final battle.

My Involvement
- Architecture: I designed the database schema using Neo4j, a graph database, to create adaptable concepts capable of supporting evolving requirements from event to event.
- Development: I led the front-end development and also made significant contributions to the back-end of the app.
- Testing: I implemented tooling to run tests against a containerized Neo4j database in Docker, enhancing test reliability and environment consistency.
- Visual Design: I developed the app’s visual design, ensuring it aligned with the Applied Primate brand and was responsive across various screen sizes and aligned with clients vision.
