Developed and maintained the Peer-Tutoring-Scheduler repository, delivering a robust scheduling and matching system for student-tutor pairings. Over six months, implemented features such as dynamic email notifications, assignment management, and constraint-driven scheduling logic, focusing on reliability and maintainability. Leveraged Python, Pandas, and JavaScript to optimize algorithms, refactor core modules, and streamline data handling, including CSV parsing and export. Enhanced user experience through improved UI with HTML and CSS, while strengthening backend logic with backtracking and error handling. Regularly addressed edge cases, removed legacy dependencies, and improved code readability, resulting in a scalable, user-centric platform for peer tutoring coordination.
February 2026 highlights the delivery of Scheduling System Improvements for Peer-Tutoring-Scheduler. Removed dependency on tutoring_schedule.csv, eliminated an arbitrary iteration limit, and enhanced handling of unmatched students with clearer messaging. The changes simplify maintenance, reduce data surface area, and improve scheduling reliability for tutors and students. Commits contributing to this work include 6bc728087fb72433afdfaca4f812e59117c372cc and 139e6ebc9cc9f0568ddfa50cffce6bbe45b372fb. Overall, these updates demonstrate robust refactoring and a strong focus on user-centric error handling, supporting faster onboarding and business value through more reliable scheduling.
