  - Designed a zero-dependency JavaScript library to provide developers with a simple API for data caching, which enables engineers to streamline their development process in a scalable, performant manner. - Implemented an LRU eviction policy for server-side caching of responses from any database and API structure to supply users with fast read and write access for highly requested data. - Developed an LFU caching option to provide developers with optimized data availability and query performance for small cache sizes, enabling frequently called assets to be cached virtually forever. - Constructed cache nodes tailored to specific use cases by specifying a preferred maximum lifetime of data for LRU and LFU caches, as the exclusive deletion policy, and omitting the feature entirely when desired. - Built out a Jest unit-testing suite of over 50 tests for LRU, LFU, and expiration-based removal systems to increase maintainability of caching logic and ensure future contributions retain core library features. - Applied the React virtual DOM’s rapid updates and low memory use in a demo application to provide a visualization of Qache’s 61% performance boost—reduced from 82ms to 32ms—in average query time over a database fetch. - Employed TypeScript’s static typing, code completion, better syntax highlighting, and avoidance of runtime errors to increase productivity when building out a demo application, allowing for more developer time on the core library. - Incorporated GraphQL and MongoDB into the demo application to illustrate the benefits of using Qache regardless of the API and database performance provided by both technologies. - Part of OS Labs open source initiative Show less
