THE PROJECT

Connection, in real time.

Young Sphere is a social product designed around the feeling of being there together. The core work brought real-time communication, a personalized feed, and member identity into one coherent experience.

The engineering focus was on responsiveness and trust: messages show typing and delivery states, presence is visible, and secure account flows support profiles and protected areas of the product.

What I built

  • Socket.io messaging with typing indicators, delivery states and presence
  • Personalized feed with posts, reactions and threaded comments
  • Secure authentication, sessions, protected routes and profile management
  • Data layer tuned for low-latency reads on frequently viewed feeds

Product focus

  • Make live activity easy to understand
  • Keep core social actions close at hand
  • Balance real-time updates with a readable feed
  • Support account privacy and reliable access
