Jonathan Farrand developed core data and chat infrastructure for the Monash-FIT3170/2025W1-QualAI repository, focusing on scalable document processing, knowledge graph construction, and robust chat workflows. He engineered pipelines that move text from MongoDB to Neo4j, applying Python-based vectorization and sentence chunking for advanced search and analytics. His work included backend and frontend integration using React and Flask, persistent chat history with error handling, and CI/CD automation via GitHub Actions. By implementing unit tests, refactoring project structure, and enhancing data extraction, Jonathan delivered maintainable, production-ready features that support reliable AI-driven insights from unstructured text and interview data.
