Over a two-month period, contributed to the JoyOfCodingPDX/KatasWinter2025 repository by developing five features and resolving two bugs focused on algorithmic challenges and game logic. Delivered a diamond shape printing utility in Java, enabling ASCII-based kata exercises, and corrected leap year calculations to handle century and 400-year rules with updated unit tests. Enhanced collaboration visibility by documenting pair programming sessions and improved onboarding through clearer documentation. In February, implemented a Bid data model with input parsing for scalable bid processing and introduced tennis scoring logic covering Deuce and Advantage states. Emphasized object-oriented design, data structures, and test-driven development throughout.
February 2025: JoyOfCodingPDX/KatasWinter2025 — Delivered core features for bid processing and tennis scoring, with strengthened test coverage and code hygiene. Key features include a Bid data model with input parsing for four-field records and the Deuce/Advantage flow in tennis scoring, backed by tests. No major bugs fixed this month; a placeholder commit was observed that did not introduce substantive changes. Overall impact: improved reliability of bid processing and robustness of scoring logic, enabling automated validation and better future extensibility. Technologies/skills demonstrated: object-oriented design (Bid class), parsing and data structure initialization, test-driven development, and basic codebase hygiene.
