Nuno Braga developed a series of user-facing UI enhancements and workflow improvements across the NIAEFEUP/nitsig and NIAEFEUP/tts-fe repositories, focusing on content navigation, enrollment flows, and layout consistency. He implemented expandable content sections and accordion components using React, JavaScript, and TypeScript, introducing dynamic state management and smooth CSS animations to improve usability. Nuno also refined footer visibility and streamlined layout rendering to reduce visual clutter. His work included sorting and search enhancements for course units, improving data organization and discoverability. Throughout, he emphasized maintainable code patterns, robust state handling, and incremental delivery, resulting in stable, scalable front-end solutions.

January 2026, NIAEFEUP/tts-fe: Delivered two front-end enhancements focused on course discovery and enrollment workflow, plus a targeted UX bug fix that enhances stability and readability of course lists. Key features: 1) Student Enrollment Card: Implement sorting by acronym, then by course_unit.id to present a logical, stable list of course units; 2) MajorSearchCombobox: Enable search by faculty_id and improve scroll behavior for faster, more reliable course search results. Impact: reduces time to locate courses, improves data presentation, and provides a more predictable enrollment experience. Technologies/skills: front-end JavaScript/TypeScript development, UI state management, enhanced sorting and search capabilities, commit-driven incremental delivery.

In December 2025, delivered key UI enhancements for the NIAEFEUP/tts-fe product, focusing on readability, consistency, and data organization. Implemented a streamlined Footer layout by removing the FooterWrapper and tightening margins to ensure consistent rendering across screen sizes, reducing visual drift and improving user experience. Improved user clarity in the StudentEnrollmentCard by renaming nmec to user_name, eliminating ambiguity in identity fields. Enhanced UI navigation by adding sorting of Course Units by course_unit_id, improving findability and accessibility of course content. These changes reduce support questions related to layout and naming, increase UI predictability, and lay groundwork for maintainable UI patterns across the codebase.

December 2024 — Repository: NIAEFEUP/nitsig. Focused on delivering a user-facing UI enhancement: Expandable Content Sections. The feature provides expand/collapse controls, dynamic height adjustments for content sections, and initializes to a predictable default state on startup. No major bugs documented for this period; stability work is ongoing. Business value includes improved content navigation, reduced user effort, and a scalable pattern for expandable sections across the UI. Demonstrated skills include frontend UI design, state management for visibility, initialization logic, and commit-driven development.
