Worked on the AFA-Tooling/GradeSync repository to deliver a robust API and automation platform for synchronizing Gradescope data with Google Sheets. Built core endpoints using FastAPI and Python, enabling secure grade and assignment retrieval, and automated data exports with service account authentication. Enhanced deployment reliability through Docker containerization, cron job scheduling, and improved environment configuration. Focused on maintainability by refactoring code, updating dependencies, and clarifying documentation. Addressed bugs related to error handling, session management, and logging, resulting in more reliable data processing. The work emphasized modular backend development, streamlined DevOps workflows, and improved operational efficiency for grade reporting and dashboard updates.
Month: 2024-11 — Delivered security, reliability, and automation enhancements for GradeSync, focusing on secure service account authentication, streamlined deployment, and improved observability. Implemented Google authentication using a service account and updated environment/docs to guide credential handling. Automated Gradescope login, refreshed deployment workflows (Dockerfile, cron/cronjob setup, startup script) to support hourly processing with a startup run and a 5-minute timeout. Performed maintainability work: code refactor, utils extraction, main guard, and cleaned up client naming; updated dependencies (Pydantic, pandas) and removed unnecessary libraries. Improved logging and error handling across Gradescope-to-Sheets and FetchAllGrades pipelines; fixed cronjob line endings and clarified usage/docs.
