Khoi Duong developed and enhanced the post reaction system for the AtriaCoop/new-townhall-backend repository over a two-month period. He implemented a Reaction model and a toggle_reaction API endpoint using Django and Python, enabling users to add or remove reactions on posts with proper validation and comprehensive test coverage. In the following month, he refactored reaction handling into a dedicated service layer, introduced a ReactionDao for robust database management, and merged related models through database migrations. Throughout, he maintained code quality with automated formatting and improved environment variable handling, resulting in a more modular, testable, and reliable backend architecture.

November 2025 performance summary: Delivered the Reaction Handling Overhaul in AtriaCoop/new-townhall-backend, moving reaction processing from the view layer into a dedicated service layer and introducing ReactionDao for robust data access. Updated PostViewSet to toggle reactions via new service methods. Implemented migrations to merge pinned and reaction models and tightened environment variable loading for reliable deployments. No critical defects reported; this work strengthens data integrity, testability, and deployment reliability, setting the stage for faster feature iteration and reduced technical debt.
