PROFILE
Cassi Brenci
Cassi Brenci developed and refined AI Tutor features in the code-dot-org/code-dot-org repository, focusing on access control, UI consistency, and modular API design. Over six months, Cassi migrated permissions and user interfaces from legacy to modernized AI Tutor versions, decoupled evaluation APIs for maintainability, and standardized Material-UI theming across applications. Using Ruby on Rails, React, and TypeScript, Cassi implemented role-based access logic, improved instructional clarity in Lab2, and reduced security risk by consolidating permission checks. The work emphasized test-driven validation, code refactoring, and design-system alignment, resulting in more reliable, maintainable, and scalable AI-enabled learning experiences for users.

Oct 1, 2025In Oct 2025, delivered a targeted refactor of the AI Tutor feature in code-dot-org/code-dot-org to improve security, governance, and maintainability. Rebranded the AI Tutor with simplified naming, updated imports, managers, and query checks; deprecated the AI_TUTOR_ACCESS permission and shifted access control to trust_chat_client and experiment-based checks. These changes reduce permission surface, standardize access patterns, and align with the experimentation framework for safer feature rollouts. There were no major bugs fixed this month; instead, the focus was on cleanly decoupling access control and preparing the system for scalable governance.

Aug 1, 2025August 2025 focused on delivering AI Tutor V2, decoupling the Evaluation API for modularity, and UI polish. Major changes include migrating permissions/UI from Tutor V1 to V2, removing V1 UI code and mount points, updating the default model to Gemini 2.5, and standardizing availability naming, as well as decoupling aiEvaluationApi from aiTutor/chatApi to support independent operation and future deprecation of the chat API. UI asset updates included a larger bot icon in the teacher dashboard and resource panel.

Jun 1, 2025June 2025: Delivered feature flag-driven access control for AiTutor2 via DCDO, refactored access logic to clearly distinguish AiTutor vs AiTutor2 by flag and lab type, and expanded test coverage for various access-control scenarios. This work improves security, reduces risk of unauthorized access to the start_chat_completion endpoint, and provides clearer boundaries between AI Tutor variants.
