Arthur Farias developed and maintained the unb-mds/2025-1-NoFluxoUNB repository over three months, focusing on backend systems for academic PDF processing. He built a Flask-based pipeline with an HTML upload interface to extract structured data such as IRA and course details, outputting results as JSON for analytics. Arthur enhanced reliability through comprehensive automated testing, including PDF upload test suites and CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions. He refactored code for maintainability, modernized documentation with MkDocs, and improved error handling and OCR readiness. His work demonstrated depth in Python, TypeScript, and PDF parsing, resulting in a robust, testable, and maintainable backend.

Summary for 2025-07 (unb-mds/2025-1-NoFluxoUNB): Focused on increasing reliability of PDF uploads and strengthening backend quality through comprehensive testing, CI/CD, and code quality improvements. Delivered a dedicated PDF upload test suite with a sample PDF generator and missing-PDF handling, and expanded test coverage across scraping, Materias controller TS tests, and No Fluxo backend. Implemented automated test pipelines with GitHub Actions, improved test organization and utilities, and introduced coverage reporting to enable faster feedback and safer deployments. Demonstrated proficiency in TypeScript and Python test tooling, linting, and test automation to deliver business value by reducing release risk and increasing confidence in backend features.

June 2025 — Unb-mds/2025-1-NoFluxoUNB: Delivered a robust PDF processing backend and improved documentation accessibility. Implemented a Flask-based PDF ingestion pipeline with an HTML upload interface, enhanced data extraction (including IRA, course information, and course nature), and JSON output for downstream analytics. Fixed documentation link integrity (corrected image paths and updated MkDocs navigation) to ensure reliable access to meeting minutes and branding documents. Enhanced error handling and prepared the pipeline for OCR fallback, improving reliability in real-world document scenarios.
