Loktos Builder

Project Type

• The project is a desktop application developed with .NET 6.
• It simplifies the customization and packaging process of location-based applications produced for different companies.

Architecture / System Design

• The project can be described through three main layers: application, storage, and database.
• The application layer represents the desktop application used by company personnel.
• The storage layer uses AWS S3 to store generated application packages.
• The database layer represents the Loktos MySQL database.
• Dependencies across the application are managed through a Dependency Injection based structure.
• Long-running upload and build operations are executed asynchronously on a separate thread to avoid blocking the main thread.
• The Unity game engine is triggered in the background as a process through its CLI workflow.

Technologies Used

• Desktop development: C#, .NET 6, Windows Forms Application, RealTaiizor
• Architecture and data access: Dependency Injection, Autofac, Dapper, Dapper FluentMap
• Database and storage: MySQL, AWS SDK Core, AWS SDK S3
• Serialization and tooling: Newtonsoft.Json, Unity CLI
• Version control and collaboration: Git, GitLab CE, Slack

Key Technical Details and Modules

• Added multithread support for long-running operations.
• Integrated the application with AWS S3 for package storage.
• Used the Unity game engine in the background as a process through CLI commands.
• Prepared the application as a setup package for easier internal installation.

Participation and Timeline

• The project was developed for Eyesoft Bilişim.
• I developed the project independently based on the requirements shared by the company's co-founder.
• I was involved throughout the process during my time at the company between November 2022 and December 2022.

Project Management / Team Structure

• We did not use a Jira-like project management tool for this project.
• I installed GitLab CE on the company's server and moved the project repository there for version control.
• I also set up Slack for team communication and integrated it with the GitLab repository.
• The main stakeholder I worked with was the company's co-founder.

Personal Contributions and Responsibilities

• I was responsible for the entire project during the period I worked on it.
• I handled the desktop application development, package generation workflow, storage integration, version control setup, and internal collaboration tooling.

Deployment Information

• Since the project is an internal desktop application used only by company personnel, there is no public deployment information.
• The application was prepared for internal installation as a setup package.
