Worked on the sfusurge/hacker-portal repository to extend the hackathon application deadline, ensuring the user interface, countdown component, and submission logic all reflected the new April 2, 2026 cutoff. Used React and TypeScript to update the front end, coordinating changes across multiple components for end-to-end consistency. The approach involved incremental commits that documented each step of the deadline extension, maintaining clear version control and traceability. No major bugs were reported during this period, and the work focused on aligning the application window with event cadence, providing users with a seamless experience when submitting applications within the updated timeframe.
