Andres Ruiz developed core infrastructure and gameplay features for the uprm-inso4117-2024-2025-s2/semester-project-briscas repository over three months. He established a robust Node.js backend with a verifiable HTTP server, then unified AI logic by consolidating AI player models and integrating them with the game manager for reliable turn handling and scoring. Andres implemented a comprehensive API and dynamic game state management, connecting the React front end to backend endpoints. He also overhauled the testing framework, introducing automated runners, fuzz testing, and async support using JavaScript and TypeScript. His work provided a stable, extensible foundation for ongoing development.

April 2025: Delivered foundational Briscas API and Game State Management with front-end to back-end integration and dynamic game mode management; refactored card and game state handling to support evolving gameplay. Enhanced the testing framework with automated test runner, per-file timeouts, fuzz testing, async support, and stability fixes to prevent hangs, enabling reliable test execution and faster feedback. These changes improve gameplay reliability, developer velocity, and overall product quality.
