Aaron Tran developed core features for the Monash-FIT3170/2025W1-FindingNibbles repository, focusing on user authentication, onboarding, and travel planning workflows. He implemented a modular registration and login system using React, TypeScript, and Material-UI, integrating protected routes and user feedback via toast notifications. Aaron enhanced the codebase with centralized routing, reusable UI components, and Google Maps API integration for travel planning. His work included codebase cleanup, refactoring for maintainability, and improved type safety in user modules. By prioritizing onboarding experience, UI consistency, and scalable architecture, Aaron delivered robust, maintainable solutions that support future feature growth and collaborative development.

In April 2025, two major frontend initiatives were delivered for Monash-FIT3170/2025W1-FindingNibbles, focusing on onboarding readiness, navigation reliability, and scalable frontend architecture. The new User Registration System enables onboarding with a dedicated Register page, a reusable FormField component, basic form state management, and styling to align with UI guidelines. A Routing System Overhaul restructured the codebase for modularity, centralized routing via RoutesConfig, extraction of main UI, and integration of a global NavBar into the App, setting the stage for consistent navigation across future features. No major bugs were reported this month; efforts centered on delivering robust features and improving maintainability. Overall, these changes improve user onboarding experience, reduce future integration risk, and provide a scalable frontend foundation that supports faster feature delivery and consistent UI. Technologies and skills demonstrated include component-based design (FormField, Register page), state management, routing architecture, modular code organization, and UI styling integration.
