Over a three-month period, contributed to JinOptimist/Net18Online by building and enhancing a comprehensive survey management platform. Developed core survey data models, implemented group-based workflows, and refactored repository and API layers for maintainability and data integrity. Leveraged ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework Core, and SignalR to enable real-time survey participation, dynamic question authoring, and robust validation. Improved user experience through UI/UX enhancements, cookie-based preference persistence, and secure access controls. Addressed critical bugs in database migrations and navigation properties, ensuring reliable data relationships. The work established a scalable backend architecture and streamlined survey authoring, completion, and management for end users.
January 2025: Delivered two major capabilities in JinOptimist/Net18Online: Survey Authoring Enhancements and Survey Completion & Validation. Implemented persistence-first survey creation and on-the-fly question creation via SignalR, ensured data is not lost when models are invalid, added retrieval of questions for a given survey, and introduced dynamic question-control changes when answer types update. Enabled user-driven survey completion with support for multiple completions for fully answered surveys, with required-field validation and improved completion status tracking. Technologies demonstrated include SignalR-based real-time updates, robust database persistence sequencing, and comprehensive input validation, all contributing to higher data integrity and stronger user experience.
