Over six months, Kodlaatul contributed to the UoaWDCC/hidtreas repository by building a scalable full-stack web application with a Next.js frontend and Payload CMS backend. Kodlaatul integrated AWS S3 for cloud-based media storage, optimized image delivery, and implemented dynamic content rendering to ensure up-to-date information across key pages. The work included Docker-based deployment, CI/CD pipeline improvements, and static generation with incremental regeneration for faster page loads. Kodlaatul used TypeScript and React to refactor components for maintainability, standardized global styling with Tailwind CSS, and enhanced onboarding through documentation and contributor templates, resulting in a robust, maintainable, and performant codebase.
