Hector Zheng developed core map and restaurant data features for the csci-499-fa24/Team1 repository over two months, focusing on frontend and backend integration using JavaScript, React, and Node.js. He built a restaurant details sidebar with inspection data and user reviews, connecting UI components to a Sequelize-backed data layer for consistent access. Hector enhanced map usability by implementing inspection grade filters, responsive UI styling, and optimized data loading with caching to improve performance. He expanded automated test coverage with Jest for both data retrieval and API endpoints, resulting in a more maintainable codebase and a smoother, faster user experience without reported bugs.
