Gamified Reward Module – End-to-End Feature Implementation

This project involved building a gamified reward module for internal campaign usage, combining interactive UI, lottery-based reward logic, and data-heavy processing flows. I was involved end-to-end on the frontend side while working closely with backend engineers to align data structure, logic, and system constraints.

Project Context

The module was designed to support internal reward campaigns where participants are imported in bulk and rewards are distributed through a lottery-style mechanism. The system needed to handle:

• large participant datasets
• configurable reward tiers
• fair and non-duplicative winner selection
• engaging visual feedback for live usage

Design-to-Code Implementation

UI & Interaction Design
I worked on translating functional requirements into clear operational UI, including admin dashboards, participant management views, and live lottery screens. The focus was usability and clarity rather than decorative visuals, especially for admin-facing workflows.

Frontend Slicing & Interaction
All interfaces were implemented using Laravel Blade with JavaScript/jQuery for interactivity. This included slot-style animations, reward reveal states, and dynamic UI updates during the lottery flow.

State Handling
To ensure stability during live usage, I implemented client-side state persistence using localStorage, allowing the lottery process and UI state to remain consistent even during refreshes or accidental reloads.

Feature Highlights

Participant Import Flow
Supported Excel-based participant uploads with validation feedback and clear status indicators. The UI was designed to reflect backend processing constraints while remaining understandable for non-technical users.

Lottery & Reward Distribution UI
Built interfaces that visually represent multi-tier reward logic, winner selection flow, and event finalization. The goal was to make complex backend rules feel simple and transparent to operators.

Admin Controls
Created admin-facing tools to manage event state, finalize results, and review winners, ensuring operational confidence during live campaign execution.

Collaboration & Technical Awareness

While my primary responsibility was frontend and UI, this project required close collaboration with backend developers to:

• align UI flows with ERD and data constraints
• understand performance considerations for large datasets
• adapt frontend behavior to backend processing limitations

This helped ensure the UI remained responsive and predictable even when dealing with heavy data operations.

What Makes This Project Special

• End-to-End Feature Ownership: From understanding ERD and business rules to implementing interactive frontend flows
• Gamification with Constraints: Designing engaging UI on top of strict operational and data rules
• Data-Heavy UI Experience: Building interfaces that remain usable and stable despite large datasets
• Operational Focus: Prioritized clarity, predictability, and control for internal users
• Cross-Team Collaboration: Tight coordination with backend engineers to ensure frontend behavior matched system reality
• Practical Problem Solving: Balancing animation, state persistence, and performance awareness in a real operational environment
