Yorkis has shipped real-time features—Socket.io chat, live leaderboards via Firebase—and implemented production-ready patterns like JWT authentication and AWS-backed asset storage. He brings a pragmatic, product-minded approach from MVP work to scalable features, often translating UX needs into efficient client-server algorithms.
