# ARINC Microfids

Canonical: https://gaboesquivel.com/project/arinc-microfids

A realtime flight-information display for hotels and airport businesses, supporting live updates across different screen sizes.

**Primary year:** 2013 (sort/display year, not employment dates)
**Types:** contract, frontend
**Technologies:** Ruby on Rails, AngularJS, Faye, LESS, Heroku

## Story

ARINC microFIDS brought airport departure and arrival information into hotel lobbies, guest rooms, and other airport-adjacent locations, with displays ranging from tablets to larger screens.
I built the web frontend and connected its Ruby on Rails backend to AngularJS, using Faye to deliver flight updates without refreshing the display. The interface also accommodated hotel promotions alongside flight information.

## Achievements

- Developed a real-time flight information display system.
- Connected the Ruby on Rails backend to AngularJS so flight data updated without a page reload.
- Tuned frontend performance for realtime updates.
