Worked on the rubyforgood/stocks-in-the-future repository to deliver targeted improvements to the admin user interface, focusing on simplifying school-year management. The approach involved removing the 'school_years' attribute from school creation and edit forms, and updating the admin YearDashboard to display year names instead of IDs. These changes, implemented using Ruby and Ruby on Rails, streamline data entry and reduce confusion for school administrators, directly supporting operational clarity. The work is traceable to specific commits and demonstrates a methodical approach to backend development, emphasizing UI consistency and data-model simplification while laying a foundation for future enhancements in administrative workflows.
