  • Published an NPM middleware package for GraphQL APIs that employ the Express middleware design pattern to intercept incoming requests to the endpoint and apply custom limiting rules around the depth, rate, and costs of queries, to prevent ones of a malicious nature • Leveraged Redis to store IP addresses temporarily in local memory and time-to-live functionality to track and limit the rate of requests made to an Express-GraphQL endpoint secured by the middleware • Implemented GraphQL to fetch relevant data from SQL database, eliminating over-fetching and under-fetching, to optimize requests made to multiple server endpoints in order to populate dashboard with user data as efficiently as possible • Applied React Router to create a single-page application, providing a seamless experience for users as they navigate from the landing page to the dashboard and ensuring that pertinent data is updated without requiring additional server requests • Utilized the Material UI and Chart.js React component libraries to create a production-ready dashboard that visualizes dynamically rendered data and offers users a high degree of flexibility in customizing how that data is ultimately visualized • This product was developed under the tech accelerator Open Source Labs (opensourcelabs.io) Show less
