Brandon

Brandon Peng contributed to the ctc-uci/Center-Stage repository by building and refining features across both backend and frontend systems over four months. He developed a RESTful Event Management API using Node.js, Express.js, and PostgreSQL, ensuring robust CRUD operations and data integrity. On the frontend, Brandon implemented user-facing enrollment workflows and a student review feature in React, including conditional rendering and a star rating widget. He also improved database consistency by adding ON DELETE CASCADE to foreign keys in SQL. His work demonstrated thoughtful integration between API, database, and UI layers, resulting in maintainable, traceable, and scalable solutions for the product.

Mar 1, 2025

March 2025 (2025-03) focused on delivering a frontend MVP for the Student Review Feature in Center Stage and laying the groundwork for broader review-related capabilities. Delivered an MVP that adds a star rating widget, displays published reviews, and gates the review form based on enrollment. Initiated essential scaffolding to disable QR code generation to pave the way for the review feature rollout. Progress documented through commits: started student review, created star widget, and a draft of post/view reviews fix. This work improves student feedback collection, increases user engagement with the course review process, and sets the stage for a broader adoption of reviews across the product.

December 2024 — Center-Stage (ctc-uci/Center-Stage) delivered a critical improvement to Enrollment Data Integrity and reinforced code quality, aligning with business goals for reliable data and predictable analytics. The primary achievement was implementing ON DELETE CASCADE on the event_enrollments foreign keys, ensuring enrollments are automatically removed when a related student or event is deleted. This prevents orphaned records and maintains a consistent database state, reducing downstream cleanup and data discrepancies. In addition, a cleanup commit removed an unintended line from a previous commit to improve code quality and maintainability. Commit-level traceability remains clear through two focused changes: 942f2d5a02bec172df1cdebed58a444524183965 (Added cascade on delete to foreign keys) and 7f5d9de465c5f302249bdc6c97311f91921956c0 (Removed postinall line I accidentally added to previous commit).
