October 2025 performance summary for KnightHacks/forge: Delivered the Hackathon Results Dashboard UI with an interactive results table (search, sort, filter) plus dynamic counts and average scores to streamline admin evaluation of hackathon submissions. Implemented backend data integration using tRPC to replace mock data, enabling real project, judge, and challenge data with improved filtering and sorting. Completed frontend developments to support dynamic projects and live score counters. Stabilized code quality by addressing lint issues and laying groundwork for testing; prepared the app for CI. Early testing exposed undefined-backend data handling which guided subsequent adjustments. Overall impact: faster, data-driven admin decisions and a scalable data layer for hackathon results.
