Over eleven months, contributed to Northeastern-Electric-Racing/FinishLine by building and refining features across the full stack, including an attendance tracking system with Slack integration, advanced event and calendar management, and robust UI/UX enhancements. Leveraged TypeScript, React, and Prisma ORM to deliver scalable backend APIs, data migrations, and frontend improvements such as ergonomic filters, navigation updates, and dynamic scheduling interfaces. Focused on maintainability through code refactoring, test stabilization, and infrastructure updates using Docker and Cypress. Prioritized business value by enabling streamlined operations, improving reliability, and supporting rapid iteration, while maintaining clear documentation and traceability throughout the development lifecycle.
For Apr 2026 (2026-04), completed a focused set of backend and frontend work on Northeastern-Electric-Racing/FinishLine that strengthens operations, user experience, and reliability. Delivered an end-to-end Attendance Tracking System with new routes, controllers, and services to manage attendance, including taking attendance, retrieving ongoing sessions, and closing sessions, complemented by Slack integration for notifications and user interactions. Implemented a calendar enhancement for paginated event retrieval (backend pagination with frontend grouping by date); note that related changes were temporarily rolled back to preserve stability in production. Executed Frontend Layout and UI Refactors to improve usability and maintainability, including a theme context for drawer visibility, a separate sidebar component, a transformer for team types, and targeted code cleanliness improvements (removal of obsolete Gantt chart code and unused imports). Improved UI/test visibility through focused testing refinements to ensure elements are visible and properly scrolled into view (Impact Attenuator and overdue work packages), along with general test improvements. Overall, these efforts deliver tangible business value by enabling streamlined attendance operations, improving calendar usability, elevating UI/UX quality, and strengthening test reliability and maintainability.
