At Duck Paradise, I work as a Bot Developer, building and maintaining a custom Discord utility bot using Python and discord.py. The bot provides moderation tools, an AFK tracking system, and an economy-style game to boost engagement. I implemented MongoDB for persistent data storage, ensuring reliability as the server grows. I collaborated with server staff to gather requirements, iterate on features, and quickly resolve bugs. The bot improved moderation efficiency, reduced manual staff workload, and increased member interaction through automated systems and interactive features.

On this server, I acted as a core developer, working mainly with Java-based Minecraft plugins and server configuration. I built a custom AntiCheat system and a Playtime Rewards plugin to improve fairness and player retention. I configured LuckPerms ranks, tuned multiple plugins, and set up spawn behavior to create a smooth onboarding experience. I also implemented an EaglerCraft proxy, expanding access for browser-based players and increasing reach. I collaborated with staff to test changes, debug issues, and deploy updates safely, resulting in improved stability, better moderation, and a more engaging player experience overall.
