Maria Salazar enhanced the champlain_petclinic repository by building a streamlined pet visit scheduling feature that enables real-time vet availability checks and time-slot selection, including a No Preference option for flexible booking. She redesigned the UI to replace manual Pet ID entry with a pet-name dropdown, reducing data-entry errors and improving user experience. To support this, Maria developed a new API endpoint for retrieving all pets, ensuring seamless integration with the existing backend, which continues to use pet UUIDs. Her work demonstrated proficiency in React, Spring Boot, and RESTful API design, delivering a cohesive, backward-compatible update with careful attention to workflow continuity.
