May 2025 summary: Stabilized and unified the codebase, established foundational web and cross‑platform capabilities, and fixed critical infrastructure issues, enabling stronger quality and future velocity. Key features delivered and major fixes across repositories: - Merged two projects into a single, maintainable codebase (MalosAlex/UBB-SE-2025-924-2 and HorvatAris/UBB-SE-2025-Steam). - Stabilized ViewModel and completed cross‑module error fixes to improve runtime reliability. - Completed database migration and resolved database connection issues; addressed NuGet problems to restore clean dependency management. - Implemented web platform foundations and profile-related improvements, including collections in profile, and initial web stability groundwork. - Added proxies/network layer support and performed extensive code cleanup and stabilization efforts. Impact and business value: - Reduced fragmentation by unifying projects, enabling simpler maintenance and faster feature delivery. - Improved system stability across desktop and web platforms, lowering incident rate and post-release hotfixes. - Established scalable groundwork (web foundation, networking layer, and profiles) for upcoming features and multi-platform parity. Technologies and skills demonstrated: - Cross‑platform development (web, desktop), profiling, and UI/workflow enhancements. - Code consolidation, project merge strategies, and migration planning. - Networking/proxy layer design, dependency management (NuGet), and environment stabilization. - Emphasis on quality practices: documentation updates (coding conventions), refactoring, and risk reduction through automated stabilization checks.
