Boris Wang developed core platform features for the ubclaunchpad/forum repository, focusing on scalable user management, authentication, and course-level content management. He implemented Supabase-backed authentication and robust CRUD operations for posts, including edit history and hard deletion, using Python, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL. Boris enhanced both backend and frontend reliability by introducing structured routing, input validation, and a dedicated Not Found page, while also updating branding assets for a cohesive user experience. He executed complex database migrations, such as converting post IDs from UUID to Integer, and enriched API endpoints to deliver post analytics, demonstrating depth in backend architecture and data integrity.

January 2025: Delivered two major backend enhancements for ubclaunchpad/forum. 1) Post ID data type migration from UUID to Integer with full migrations, FK updates, and ORM model adjustments; API/schema updated to reflect the new type. 2) Get post endpoint enriched to return post statistics (likes, views) and user interaction indicators (has_liked, has_viewed) with a revised GetPostResponse schema. These changes improve performance, simplify data handling, and enable richer client analytics. Technologies demonstrated include database migrations, schema refactoring, REST API evolution, and backend data modeling.
