PROFILE
Cooper Brice
Cooper Brice developed and enhanced core team assignment algorithms for the UTDallasEPICS/Teambuilder repository, focusing on scalable, fair project distribution for large student cohorts. He implemented a new team generation algorithm in TypeScript, ensuring balanced team sizes and robust handling of edge cases such as students without preferences. His work included refactoring legacy logic for maintainability, introducing unique identifiers for data integrity, and expanding automated tests using CSV and TypeScript fixtures. By consolidating algorithm history and improving documentation, Cooper reduced future maintenance costs and improved onboarding. His contributions demonstrated depth in algorithm design, code refactoring, and test-driven development practices.

Nov 1, 2024November 2024 — Teambuilder monthly summary. Delivered a robust Team Generation Algorithm and accompanying tests to improve fairness, reliability, and scalability for large cohorts. Key features delivered: 1) New Team Generation Algorithm and Balancing with minimum team sizes, balanced distributions, handling of students with no preferences, and correct project/senior placement. Notable changes include added null option to grouping by class, scenario for no choices, and refactors such as turning score calculations into functions and variable renaming for clarity. Representative commits include fb255dfc8225b1086ded837444453a656ff2745e, eff3dadd3afca16008d2117762c4ee753760f33c, 6bd38f22ec98a1da6bd2e3cb0f2c91a174d72371, 92b2c43c3272f456eb1016eba6577d31f12f31ca, 8438b91f72b48fbc890cb632f69b1e52d8ca1304. 2) Tests and Test Data for Team Generation Algorithm: added test5.ts and related CSV fixtures to validate behavior (89ba50abd8c7e9a6b28d3dca4c4282857b271d36, 56b3c83a58960e70713083305a2f8ca07f8b3323, f0aa1b9280f161465f3c2b271aaaa79b46ab27a9). Major bugs fixed: Fixed balanceTeams to ensure each team receives the minimum number of students, improving correctness in edge cases. The work also includes removal of stale comments and code cleanup to simplify future maintenance. Overall impact: improved fairness, predictability, and scalability of team assignments; reduced manual intervention and better alignment with student preferences and senior/project placement. Technologies/skills demonstrated: TypeScript/Node, test-driven development, unit testing with test data fixtures, refactoring for clarity and maintainability. Business value: consistent team sizes, reliable project allocation, and a foundation for scaling to larger cohorts.
