During May 2025, Ayala Wang developed end-to-end support for General Education (GE) areas in the ucsb-cs156/proj-courses repository, delivering both backend and frontend features. They created a new API endpoint using Java and Spring Boot to expose GE area codes, refactored the service for maintainability, and improved test coverage with Jest. On the frontend, Ayala implemented a React component that fetches GE areas, enables user selection, and persists choices using localStorage, with additional testing via React Testing Library and Storybook. Their work streamlined course discovery workflows, reduced technical debt, and enhanced code reliability, demonstrating solid engineering depth across the stack.
