PROFILE

Lois Wells

Worked on the RaspberryPiFoundation/editor-api repository, focusing on backend and API development using Ruby on Rails, SQL, and Jbuilder. Over two months, explored architectural changes to support multi-teacher class assignments by introducing and then reverting a class_teachers join table, ensuring the codebase remained stable while validating future design directions. Developed and later rolled back a Context API Endpoint prototype, clarifying security boundaries and establishing a disciplined rollback workflow. This approach emphasized safe experimentation, risk evaluation, and explicit documentation of architectural decisions, laying the groundwork for future features while maintaining a robust and well-governed backend system throughout the development cycle.

March 2025 monthly summary for RaspberryPiFoundation/editor-api: Delivered an initial Context API Endpoint prototype (route, controller action, JSON view) to expose contextual project information; implemented with commit 268b7faf830a6aa96204f909427851a412dc4a4e. Subsequently reverted the context route and adjusted access control (route/controller/view removed; ability updated to exclude the 'context' action) with commit ef08fba0def2fe43bf0b8c29bfd4aecf0b3e5479. The exercise clarified security boundaries and rollback workflow, informing future contextual feature design and governance.

Monthly work summary for 2024-11: Focused on architectural experimentation in the RaspberryPiFoundation/editor-api repository to evaluate multi-teacher support for class-teacher relationships. Executed a two-commit cycle: first adding a multi-teacher model (class_teachers join table, rename class_members to class_students, and API/controller/view updates) and then reverting the change to restore a single-teacher-per-class structure. This work prioritized stability while validating design options and informed future roadmap decisions. No customer-facing deployments this month; the outcome strengthens the codebase with explicit architectural decisions and prepares groundwork for future features.
