Farcana AI Search

A real-time AI search interface built during Ali’s employment at Farcana.

Ali’s role
Frontend developer · Full-stack scope
Stack
React, TypeScript, WebSockets, TanStack Query

Context

The work involved a user-facing search interface and the handling of concurrent real-time responses.

Engineering contribution

  • Built the React interface and connected the search response flow.
  • Used WebSocket pooling for connection handling and TanStack Query for frontend server state.
  • Related work at Farcana included streaming chat, a component library built with Radix UI, and a Feature-Sliced Design migration.

Reported results

The search interface was delivered in 48 hours. A reported workload of 50 concurrent requests averaged approximately 200ms latency with no observed timeouts. These figures describe that workload, rather than a service-level commitment.

The streaming-chat work was a separate product; the search measurements do not describe it.
