Joseph Thuha contributed to the UNDP-Data/geohub repository by building and refining features across backend and frontend systems, focusing on geospatial data visualization and API reliability. He upgraded the Electricity Forecast Data API, enhanced map attribution compliance, and improved authentication security, using technologies such as TypeScript, Svelte, and Mapbox GL JS. His work included refactoring API endpoints for maintainability, strengthening documentation with visual resources, and resolving a critical map label filtering bug. By consolidating routes and streamlining UI components, Joseph improved data access, user onboarding, and dashboard clarity, demonstrating depth in full stack development and attention to long-term maintainability.

September 2025 (UNDP-Data/geohub): Delivered key API refactor and UI enhancements that improve data access reliability, developer productivity, and user experience. The Vector Tile Metadata API was refactored to split azstorage and pgtileserv sources into distinct endpoints, removed the 'type' parameter from the pgtileserv metadata endpoint, and cleaned up related routes/files to simplify the API surface and improve maintainability. The Electricity Dashboard UI/UX was enhanced with a v5 admin URL, ensured label layers load on top, and refined map initialization for smoother visualization. These changes reduce maintenance overhead, minimize surface area for regressions, and provide a more stable foundation for downstream consumers and future feature work.
