James Reidy
Over a two-month period, contributed to the cul-it/blacklight-cornell repository by enhancing search reliability and simplifying the search stack. Focused on refining backend logic for search query transformation, particularly for quoted and empty queries, which improved accuracy and reduced maintenance overhead. Used Ruby and Gherkin to update controller logic and align test expectations, resulting in clearer, more reliable test outcomes. Additionally, removed obsolete search engines and related UI from the Bento Search feature, streamlined deployment configurations to support containerization, and enabled CORS for backend communications. Improved logging and advanced search test coverage, emphasizing maintainability and robust deployment automation throughout the process.
