Rohan Kannan contributed to the Monash-FIT3170/2025W1-Beastly-Brawl-Showdown repository, delivering 24 features and 9 bug fixes over four months. He modernized the deployment pipeline with Docker and multi-stage builds, improved CI/CD automation using GitHub Actions, and migrated the codebase to TypeScript for stronger type safety. Rohan implemented robust onboarding and monster selection flows in React, integrated state management, and enhanced UI consistency with CSS. His work included deprecating legacy server components, optimizing build performance, and enforcing secure communication with TLS. These efforts improved maintainability, reduced onboarding time, and established a reliable, cross-platform development and deployment environment.
September 2025 (Monash-FIT3170/2025W1-Beastly-Brawl-Showdown): Delivered a hardened deployment pipeline, improved startup reliability, and reduced build times, driving faster delivery, stronger security, and better developer productivity.

August 2025 focused on delivering a tighter joined experience for Beastly Brawl Showdown, de-risking the project through server deprecation, and modernizing deployment and tooling to accelerate future delivery. Delivered a robust Monster Selection flow integrated with the Join experience, removed the legacy game-server to reduce maintenance, and overhauled deployment and CI/CD to improve consistency across environments and platforms (including Apple Silicon). Enhanced developer experience with Docker-based service orchestration, improved launcher scripts, automatic dependency checks, and Prettier automation on PRs. These changes reduce onboarding time, lower environment-related failures, and lay groundwork for faster feature cycles.

May 2025—Beastly Brawl Showdown: Completed a major TypeScript migration of the codebase, including TSX conversion stabilization, delivering a maintainable, strongly-typed core. Established PR workflow scaffolding and host-join integration tests to enable PR-based validation and branch-specific CI, complemented by a broader test harness expansion to boost CI reliability. Delivered key features: Monster picker page with navigation and full UI styling CSS, with text-box padding and rendering fixes improving UX. Strengthened repository hygiene and stability through updated .gitignore, corrected module placement and folder references, reconsideration of codeowners, a rebase onto develop, and dependency/lockfile maintenance. Overall impact: faster onboarding, fewer pipeline failures, more predictable builds, and a UI-consistent product.
