Liam Lynch contributed to the smartuni/riot-po-2025 repository by developing real-time gate management features and strengthening security for guest access. He implemented a guest dashboard with guarded routes and warning prompts, ensuring only authenticated users could access protected resources. Liam transitioned the system from polling to WebSocket-based updates, enabling faster, scalable real-time notifications and reducing backend load. He refactored gate data models and MQTT handling, added robust error handling by defaulting null statuses, and integrated frontend updates using React and Node.js. His work demonstrated depth in backend and frontend development, with careful attention to reliability, auditability, and seamless user experience.

In July 2025, delivered core real-time gate management improvements for smartuni/riot-po-2025. Key work includes refactoring gate data models and MQTT handling, enabling priority field, auto-generated IDs, updated MQTT configuration and field mappings, and GUI integration (addGateFromGUI). Implemented WebSocket-based real-time frontend updates and uplink notifications, plus comprehensive gate activity auditing and enhanced logging, including Sensemate events. Added robustness by defaulting null gate status to CLOSED to prevent runtime errors. These changes improve real-time visibility, reliability, and auditability while reducing downtime and simplifying operator workflows.
