Clayton Cook developed and modernized the SVSU-Capstone25/PLOT-FE repository over four months, delivering 55 features and resolving 13 bugs. He refactored the frontend using Blazor and C#, introduced modular component architecture, and implemented robust automated testing with Playwright and xUnit. His work included Docker-based CI/CD pipelines, a restructured project layout, and enhancements to the data model and authentication flows. Clayton improved UI/UX through canvas-based drawing tools, accessibility upgrades, and responsive layouts. His technical approach emphasized maintainability, test coverage, and deployment readiness, resulting in a scalable, production-ready application with streamlined workflows and reduced manual QA overhead.

April 2025 performance highlights for SVSU-Capstone25/PLOT-FE focused on stabilizing and modernizing the front-end, improving UX for editors and dashboards, and strengthening the data-model layer. Key features and UX improvements delivered include a modular Floorset Editor, a Canvas with painting/drawing tools and robust interaction handling, an relocated and restyled Allocations sidebar, reworked Store Dashboard dropdowns and navigation, and comprehensive modal UI improvements. These changes reduce maintenance overhead, speed feature delivery, and improve reliability in production.
