Over five months, Chris Bennett contributed to the UoaWDCC/rainbow-engineering repository by building and refining user-facing features and underlying architecture. He developed reusable React components, such as EventDropdown and ExecCard, and led a UI/UX refresh using Tailwind CSS to improve consistency and responsiveness. Chris integrated Payload CMS with Next.js and PostgreSQL to enable content management, established CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, and enhanced navigation with a responsive, scroll-aware Navbar. His work included code refactoring, dependency management, and bug fixes, resulting in a more maintainable codebase and streamlined workflows. He primarily used TypeScript, React, and Next.js.

Sep 1, 2025September 2025 — UoaWDCC/rainbow-engineering: Delivered a content-management foundation by integrating Payload CMS with Next.js, establishing backend/frontend separation, PostgreSQL (Neon) deployment, and an Executives collection, plus CI/CD for Payload. Overhauled the signup UX with a RainbowButton component (animated border, updated layout). Stabilized progress with a rollback of the Payload integration to a stable baseline and targeted build fixes; updated CI/CD workflow (build.yml). Business impact: enables non-technical editors to manage content; faster publishing; improved signup experience; and stronger deployment automation. Technologies: Next.js, Payload CMS, PostgreSQL/Neon, React components, and GitHub Actions (CI/CD).
