Key Outcomes
- Optimised upload speed and reliability for files larger than 1TB
- Enabled reliable large file transfers through the browser
- Built data visualisations of network performance and platform comparisons
Large File Transfer Platform
The Challenge
Transferring very large files (exceeding 1TB) through a browser is notoriously difficult. Standard upload mechanisms fail, connections drop, and users have no visibility into transfer performance or how the platform compares to alternatives.
The Solution
I worked on optimising the platform for reliable large file transfers and built visualisations to demonstrate network performance.
Large File Upload Optimisation
- Speed Optimisation: Improved upload speeds for files exceeding 1TB
- Reliability: Ensured transfers complete successfully despite file size
- Browser-Based: All transfers handled through the browser without requiring desktop clients
Network Data Visualisation
Built visualisations showing network performance:
- Speed Metrics: Visual representation of achieved transfer speeds
- Platform Comparison: Charts comparing performance against other transfer platforms
- Network Insights: Data visualisations helping users understand their network performance
Results
The platform enabled reliable browser-based transfers of very large files, with clear visualisations demonstrating the speed advantages over competing solutions.
