Aref Shams worked on the aau-giraf/foodplanner project, focusing on backend and Flutter development over a two-month period. He improved maintainability by refactoring the FoodImage widget in Dart, removing a redundant JSON factory constructor to streamline data handling and reduce potential deserialization errors. In the foodplanner-api repository, he addressed a deployment issue by updating the GetPresignedImageLink endpoint in C#, ensuring image URLs dynamically reflect the request host rather than a hardcoded value. His work emphasized incremental, targeted improvements using Dart, Flutter, and C#, resulting in cleaner code, more reliable image handling, and easier onboarding for future contributors.

Month 2024-11: Stabilized image URL generation in foodplanner-api by fixing GetPresignedImageLink to use the request host instead of localhost, ensuring correct presigned image URLs across all deployment environments (dev/stage/prod). This is a small, isolated change with a single commit, reducing broken image links and improving user experience for image uploads and displays.
