Contributed to the Submitty/Submitty repository by delivering three features and a critical bug fix over two months, focusing on grading UI reliability, security, and user experience. Addressed a key accessibility issue by removing draggable behavior from the Panel Selector modal, ensuring it remains centered and accessible. Enhanced security and compliance by restricting graders’ access to submissions before grading begins, and improved international usability by enabling user-selected date and time formats through a database migration. Strengthened quality assurance with expanded Cypress end-to-end testing, leveraging JavaScript, PHP, and TypeScript to ensure robust, maintainable, and user-focused full stack solutions.
June 2026: Delivered security-focused access control for graders, enhanced user usability with date/time format preferences, and strengthened QA coverage for grading UI and API. Key outcomes include restricting limited-access graders from viewing submissions before the grade start date (security/compliance), enabling user-selected date/time formats across the site (MDY/DMY/YMD) with a database migration adding date_format to users and corresponding UI, and expanding Cypress-based testing to prevent grading UI regressions and preserve date values during gradeable download. These changes reduce risk, improve international usability, and provide measurable business value by protecting data visibility, improving user experience, and hardening release quality. Technologies/skills demonstrated include PHP backend changes (Submitty core), database migrations, frontend UI work, and Cypress end-to-end test automation.
