Golf score tracking with a skill-matched virtual opponent
A golf app where players log scores, review past rounds and compete against a virtual opponent calibrated to their own level.
Client — a sports app startup
My role — Backend & API developer Team — 2 people
01 — Challenge
A virtual opponent is only motivating if it is genuinely matched to the player — too easy and it is meaningless, too hard and people stop playing. That calibration has to happen server-side from the player's own history.
02 — Approach
Built the scoring and history model in Laravel with a React Native client, deriving opponent difficulty from the player's submitted scores so the challenge tracks their actual level.
03 — Impact
Players track rounds, see progress over time, and compete against an opponent that scales with their game.
