During January 2025, Bo Lu focused on stabilizing the external search integration within the ssc-sp/datahub-portal repository. He addressed a critical bug by updating the SEARCH_API_URL to the geo.ca domain, ensuring that backend tests accurately targeted the correct API and reflected the current environment configuration. Working primarily with C#, Bo leveraged his skills in API integration, backend development, and testing to improve the reliability of search-related workflows. Although no new features were introduced during this period, his targeted bug fix reduced test failures and contributed to a more stable and maintainable codebase, demonstrating depth in backend maintenance work.
