March 2025 (NIAEFEUP/uni): Delivered the Calendar Events Data Pipeline (JSON-based) enabling end-to-end calendar events handling. Implemented a JSON fetcher with local JSON sources, added a calendar prompts data asset, and enhanced event data extraction prompts. Refactored calendar event handling to replace HTML fetching with JSON, and integrated a provider for simpler retrieval and maintainability. Added support for start/end dates in the event model, unlocking more accurate scheduling and analytics. The work improves reliability, maintainability, and downstream data availability for calendar-driven features.

February 2025 — NIAEFEUP/uni: Improved user experience and stability with UI enhancements and localization fixes. Delivered Course unit information page UX enhancements (expanded widget improvements, streamlined instructor display, and a direct link to the official course unit page) aligned to the mockup. Fixed visual inconsistencies on secondary pages (icon alignment via MediaQuery adjustments) and strengthened localization loading reliability by refactoring initialization to use Future.value and await. These changes reduce user friction, ensure consistent visuals, and provide robust translations across locales.
