The 30-second version
EfficienTalk was a four-person Java course project for local-network chat. We used socket communication, object-oriented structure, modular message flows, and an external API integration while learning how to coordinate changes in a shared codebase.
My role
I contributed as a programmer to the Java implementation, communication flow, and API-related work. It was a shared team project, and the surviving portfolio record is not detailed enough to assign each component to one person.
What the project demonstrates
- Building and connecting Java components in a multi-person codebase.
- Passing messages over a local network with sockets.
- Using modular boundaries so communication and feature logic did not become one block of code.
- Working through integration changes with GitHub as a team.
Scope and limits
This was coursework, not a production office-chat product. No public source, architecture diagram, test report, or working demo is currently attached, so the page stays in the earlier-work archive. If the original repository is recovered, the useful next step would be to document the client/server boundary, message protocol, failure handling, and my commit-level contribution.
