Ethan B. Donnelly contributed to hack4impact-calpoly/cc-heritage-tree-foundation by building robust backend data models and secure, user-focused features. He designed Mongoose schemas for tree and volunteer records, enabling persistent, structured storage and supporting analytics and future enhancements. Ethan integrated React and Next.js to connect frontend components with backend APIs, implementing server-side pagination and dynamic data fetching for tree records. He strengthened access control with Clerk authentication and middleware, ensuring role-based navigation and admin-only workflows. His work included geolocation integration for streamlined data entry, comprehensive automated testing with Jest and React Testing Library, and disciplined code formatting using TypeScript and Prettier.

May 2025 monthly summary for hack4impact-calpoly/cc-heritage-tree-foundation: Key features delivered: - Use Current Location button on the new tree form: automatically populates treeLocation coordinates using browser geolocation with robust error handling for unsupported geolocation and permission denied scenarios. This reduces manual data entry and improves data accuracy. - Role-based navigation access control and tests: hides Volunteers link from non-admin users and adds tests for the messages page and navbar; enhanced test environment to support Clerk mocking for mobile navigation to improve reliability. - Code formatting cleanup (Prettier): applied formatting changes across the codebase with no functional changes, improving readability and maintainability. Major bugs fixed: - Notable adjustments during feature work include resilient error handling for geolocation and ensuring test coverage aligns with role-based UI visibility, reducing edge-case user flows. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Accelerated tree creation workflow through geolocation-assisted data entry, increasing data completeness and user satisfaction. - Strengthened security and UX governance via role-based navigation controls and trusted admin-only access to sensitive sections. - Improved test coverage and reliability for mobile navigation scenarios, reducing regressions. - Maintained high code quality with consistent formatting, setting the foundation for scalable future work. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Front-end geolocation integration and error handling (Geolocation API) - Role-based access control and UI tests - Automated testing with Clerk mocking for mobile navigation - Code quality tooling (Prettier) and formatting discipline
