During two months on the AFA-Tooling/GradeSync repository, Mihir Gandhi developed and maintained a robust backend system for automating grade exports from Gradescope to Google Sheets. He designed and implemented a FastAPI-based API scaffold, enabling secure, modular endpoints for grade and assignment data retrieval. Mihir integrated service account authentication for Google APIs, automated deployment with Docker and cron jobs, and improved session management and error handling. His work included code refactoring, dependency management, and enhanced logging for observability. Using Python, Docker, and Git, Mihir delivered features that improved data accuracy, operational efficiency, and maintainability, demonstrating strong backend engineering depth.

Month: 2024-11 — Delivered security, reliability, and automation enhancements for GradeSync, focusing on secure service account authentication, streamlined deployment, and improved observability. Implemented Google authentication using a service account and updated environment/docs to guide credential handling. Automated Gradescope login, refreshed deployment workflows (Dockerfile, cron/cronjob setup, startup script) to support hourly processing with a startup run and a 5-minute timeout. Performed maintainability work: code refactor, utils extraction, main guard, and cleaned up client naming; updated dependencies (Pydantic, pandas) and removed unnecessary libraries. Improved logging and error handling across Gradescope-to-Sheets and FetchAllGrades pipelines; fixed cronjob line endings and clarified usage/docs.
