During a two-month period, Daniel Pedersen developed real-time collaboration features for the aau-giraf/visual-tangible-artefacts repository. He built a synchronized board sharing system and a real-time video call and session signaling backbone, addressing multi-user coordination and seamless communication. Leveraging C#, Dart, ASP.NET Core, SignalR, and WebRTC, Daniel implemented robust session management, authentication-aware signaling, and cross-platform UI updates. His work included backend integration, frontend enhancements in Flutter, and architectural improvements such as a CallManager and contact caching. These contributions established a scalable foundation for collaborative sessions, improved reliability across platforms, and streamlined the codebase for future development and maintainability.
December 2025: Delivered the Real-time Video Call and Session Signaling backbone for collaborative sessions in the Visual Tangible Artefacts project. Implemented a SignalR hub and WebRTC signaling, with authentication-aware signaling and improved session management via UI status updates. Key architecture changes include a CallManager for robust call handling, enhanced SignalR service with contact caching, and reliable ICE candidate flow, leading to faster and more stable session setup. Also completed platform-specific URL handling and UI refinements (VideoCallScreen and RemoteBoardScreen), updated RemoteArtifactBoardController and ApiDataRepository, and removed deprecated CallTestScreen to streamline the codebase. This work delivers clear business value by enabling seamless, secure real-time collaboration, improving reliability across platforms, and establishing a scalable foundation for multi-user sessions, while improving developer productivity through clearer abstractions and better testability.

November 2025: Delivered Real-time Collaborative Board Sharing for aau-giraf/visual-tangible-artefacts, enabling synchronized board layouts across participants with session-aware board IDs for precise sharing and tracking. No major bugs reported; minor integration/stability fixes were included as part of the rollout. This work reduces collaboration friction, improves coordination during multi-user sessions, and provides a scalable foundation for future enhancements. Technologies demonstrated include real-time state synchronization, robust session management, and end-to-end integration with the existing collaboration framework. Commit reference for the rollout: 434eec6a05e45e7a1517597e64fdf58abfa37aa4.
