Worked on the samuelhilpert/eduvmstore-ui repository, focusing on backend reliability and code maintainability using Python. Addressed backend API connectivity by updating the base URL and port, ensuring stable communication and accurate data submission for instance creation. Improved flexibility by removing a hardcoded creator ID, allowing dynamic assignment or safe defaults. Later, enhanced code consistency by refactoring a core API function name throughout the codebase, updating related tests and UI to maintain behavioral integrity. Emphasized adherence to code conventions and robust refactoring practices, contributing to easier future maintenance and onboarding. Demonstrated skills in API integration, backend development, and code convention.
