During three months working on the NIAEFEUP/uni repository, Daniel focused on front-end development and UI/UX improvements using Flutter and Dart. He built a reusable GenericSquircle widget to standardize squircle styling, reducing code duplication and simplifying maintenance. Daniel enhanced the Academic Path View Tab UI by refactoring it to handle text overflow more reliably and replaced custom icons with robust alternatives for consistency. He also improved the responsiveness of the Average Grade display, allowing UI elements to scale with available space. Throughout, Daniel prioritized code cleanup and formatting, reducing technical debt and enabling faster, more reliable feature delivery in future iterations.
