Worked on the Castro19/LAEP-GPT repository to deliver core platform enhancements focused on environment configuration, content summarization, and schedule management. Improved the development environment by cleaning up configuration files, removing unused dependencies, and implementing conditional logging to streamline onboarding and reduce noise. Enhanced course section summaries by integrating professor ratings, popular tags, and direct PolyRatings URLs, leveraging prompt engineering and data transformation techniques. Refactored schedule review and display logic to enforce consistent AM/PM formatting, resulting in clearer schedule views. Collaborated across front-end and back-end using JavaScript, TypeScript, and React, emphasizing code organization and robust API integration throughout the development process.
May 2025 monthly summary for Castro19/LAEP-GPT: Delivered core platform improvements across environment hygiene, enhanced content summarization, and schedule management. These changes reduce dev setup friction, increase the usefulness and accuracy of AI-generated course summaries (with professor ratings, tags, and direct PolyRatings URLs), and improve schedule usability through consistent AM/PM formatting and more robust data fetch logic. Result: faster iteration cycles, stronger product signal for learners and instructors, and improved frontend stability. Representative deliverables include: - Environment and Dependency Cleanup: cleaned dev environment config, removed IDE-specific config, pruned unused packages, and gated logs by environment to reduce noise. - Enhanced Section Summaries and Prompts: integrated overall rating and tag snippets, added PolyRatings URL, and tightened prompt engineering to deliver richer, more actionable summaries. - Schedule Management Improvements: refactored review fetch/display logic and enforced AM/PM time formatting for clearer schedules, with front-end adjustments to fix downstream bugs. Impact highlights: improved onboarding speed, higher quality summaries with direct rating references, and more reliable schedule views for users. Tech stack and skills demonstrated: Python refactoring, prompt engineering, API/data integration (PolyRatings), environment/config management, logging controls, helper functions, and frontend/backend collaboration for schedule UI.
