Westley Thompson contributed to the JoyOfCodingPDX/KatasWinter2025 repository by developing two core features and strengthening code reliability over a three-month period. He implemented a lags-based flight request processing enhancement, introducing temporal logic and algorithm development in Java to automate itinerary feasibility checks and reduce manual review. Westley also delivered an integration test for the Minesweeper module, validating correct minefield output and laying groundwork for future parsing improvements. His disciplined approach included maintaining repository hygiene through precise documentation and non-functional edits. The work demonstrated depth in Core Java, integration testing, and robust version control, supporting both immediate functionality and future extensibility.

March 2025 for JoyOfCodingPDX/KatasWinter2025 focused on strengthening test coverage and laying groundwork for future parsing and calculation enhancements. Delivered a high-value integration test for Minesweeper with a single-map input, validating correct minefield output and serving as a foundation for subsequent parsing/logic work. This aligns with product stability goals and enables safer refactors and feature expansion in the next sprint.
