Marchelino Habchi developed core features for the SOEN490-CAPSTONE2026/FoodFlow repository, focusing on scalable backend systems and robust frontend integration. Over six months, he built and refined donation workflows, personalized recommendation engines, and real-time notification systems, using Java, Spring Boot, and React. His work included designing expressive data models, implementing API endpoints, and integrating Twilio SMS alerts through environment-driven configuration. He addressed data consistency between frontend and backend, improved test reliability with Jest and JUnit, and enhanced admin dashboards for feedback management. The engineering approach emphasized maintainability, deployment readiness, and user engagement, resulting in a stable, production-ready platform.
February 2026: Delivered Twilio SMS Notifications Integration in FoodFlow by introducing environment variables to configure SMS alerts, enabling real-time notifications and improved incident response. No major bugs fixed this month; the focus was on secure configuration, deployment readiness, and laying groundwork for scalable alerting. This work enhances user engagement and operational responsiveness through SMS channels.

Month: 2026-01 — This month focused on improving user feedback workflows and the personalization of recommendations in FoodFlow. Summary: Implemented backend changes to enable feedback submission for all claims by removing restrictive validation, resulting in a known bug fix for Unable to submit feedback; followed by test cleanup to streamline FeedbackServiceTest and improve maintainability. Strengthened the recommendation engine by incorporating receiver preferences, refining freshness scoring to prevent displaying '1 days', and updating tests and API usage for top recommendations. These changes improve user engagement potential and UI reliability, with a cleaner, more maintainable codebase. Technologies demonstrated include backend feature work, testing, and frontend-backend integration.
