Worked on the ubclaunchpad/forum repository to enhance course management by implementing delete and edit capabilities, customizable course settings, and refactored data models to support editing. Addressed critical reliability issues in user authentication and data initialization by introducing asynchronous handling with awaits, reducing race conditions and improving onboarding stability. Upgraded the platform to Next.js 15.1.4, strengthening security and ensuring compatibility for future development. Laid groundwork for improved UI/UX with initial modal and theme customization features. Utilized TypeScript, React, and Next.js to deliver these improvements, focusing on backend stability, frontend usability, and a more robust, maintainable codebase for course administration.
