• Database Management:
• Save and organize questions in the correct JSON format in the database.
• Ensure efficient storage and retrieval of data.
• Content Management:
• Set up systems for uploading, storing, and retrieving images and videos.
• Make content easily accessible for Unity developers.
• Team Collaboration:
• Work closely with Unity developers to ensure backend data integrates seamlessly.
• Troubleshoot and resolve any data or API issues quickly.
• System Maintenance:
• Keep the backend running smoothly with regular updates and optimization.
• Monitor performance and fix any issues.
