Worked on the Submitty/Submitty repository over three months, delivering features and fixes that enhanced both privacy and reliability in grading workflows. Developed a privacy safeguard to ensure legal names are hidden when a preferred name is set, implementing Cypress-based end-to-end tests to validate UI compliance across student, instructor, and TA views. Expanded automated test coverage for the overridden grades banner, improving regression safety for grading interfaces. Addressed a backend bug in submission conflict detection by refining file name comparison logic in PHP and adding unit tests, thereby increasing confidence in bulk upload workflows and supporting maintainable, privacy-focused development practices.
July 2026 monthly summary for Submitty/Submitty highlighting key accomplishments, business value delivered, and technical milestones. Focused on submission conflict resolution in bulk upload workflows. Implemented a non-breaking bug fix to conflict detection so file names are compared by base name (ignoring extensions), preventing missed merge options when a previous submission exists with a file like 'answers' vs 'answers.pdf'. Added automated unit test coverage to validate the behavior (testSecondVersionPreviousOverlapNoExtension in SubmissionControllerTester.php). Key commit: c603aabbc4bbe4d7fa5a3b99d7fe3c2f88819ec7. Demonstrated PHP backend development, PHPUnit testing, and cross-functional collaboration.
