Connor MacDougall contributed to the Monash-FIT3170/2025W1-HansRoslinger repository by developing eight new features over three months, focusing on gesture-based UI enhancements, presentation workflow improvements, and deployment readiness. He implemented pinch gesture detection and a persistent gesture toggle using JavaScript and TypeScript, improving accessibility and interaction accuracy. Connor modernized the UI with Material-UI, refactored navigation using React Router, and streamlined build processes for Windows deployment. His work included auto webcam management via the MediaDevices API, reducing resource usage during presentations. The engineering demonstrated depth in frontend and full stack development, emphasizing maintainability, user experience, and efficient resource management throughout.

October 2025 monthly summary: Delivered two key capabilities that improve presentation reliability and deployment readiness. Auto webcam management for image segmentation reduces unnecessary resource usage by turning off the webcam when background removal is disabled or when leaving the presenting page, including a lifecycle-aware stop function and React Router-based page-change detection. Enhanced deployment readiness by streamlining the build and Windows deployment prep—removing extraneous testing-related packages from the Meteor versions file to reduce dependencies and accelerate Windows builds; Windows build verified.
