Worked on the JoyOfCodingPDX/KatasSummer2025 repository, delivering five features and addressing two bugs over two months. Focused on enhancing game logic and input handling, including improvements to the Diamond class for character storage and numeric conversion, and refining Tennis context roles and win-condition detection. Implemented an addition operation for an RPN calculator and introduced string-based board dimension parsing for Minesweeper, using private helper methods and constructor integration. Emphasized maintainability through repository housekeeping and metadata updates. Demonstrated proficiency in Core Java, object-oriented programming, and unit testing, establishing a foundation for flexible input handling and improved test coverage.
Month: 2025-08 — Focused on enhancing Minesweeper input handling in JoyOfCodingPDX/KatasSummer2025. Delivered a feature to parse board dimensions from a string by adding a private parseInputBoard method and wiring it into the constructor, enabling string-based row/column input. Note: a related test for mines is present but commented out in the commit, indicating ongoing test coverage work. A separate bug-type commit for a Name field addition contained no code changes (placeholder), highlighting continued iteration on related features. No substantive bug fixes were completed this month. Overall impact: established a robust foundation for flexible input handling and future testing, improving reliability and user experience. Technologies/skills demonstrated: object-oriented design with private helper methods, constructor wiring for input parsing, basic test awareness, and commit hygiene.
