Isabelle Shapiro developed real-time election data capabilities for the BPR-Data-Team/Election-Night repository, focusing on scalable and reliable delivery of county-level results and called election status. She enhanced the data model by introducing standardized interfaces for county data and called elections, and implemented both REST API and WebSocket endpoints to surface live race results and exit poll data. Using TypeScript, React, and React Query, Isabelle improved frontend resilience with automatic WebSocket reconnection and robust state management. Her work provided faster, more reliable access to election outcomes, improved data integrity, and established a scalable foundation for future exit poll and results features.

November 2024 focused on delivering real-time election data capabilities for the Election-Night product, with three core initiatives: (1) Data model enhancements to standardize county-level data and called elections (CountyData and CalledElection interfaces); (2) Real-time data surfaces via REST and WebSocket for race results, county data, and called-election status, plus initial REST support for exit polls; (3) Delivery reliability and scalability improvements including pagination for county and exit-poll data, WebSocket updates, and a React Query-based data-fetching layer. Frontend improvements included reconnection logic for WebSocket connections and resilience under intermittent connectivity. Business value realized includes faster, more reliable real-time visibility into election outcomes, improved data integrity, and a scalable foundation for exit-poll coverage and future enhancements.
