Owen Acov contributed to the Sudhan-Dahake/CalamityCall repository by delivering a comprehensive notification system revamp, integrating backend services using Retrofit and centralizing alert logic to improve reliability and configurability. He enhanced the user experience with a configurable flashlight alert for emergencies and refined UI/UX across core screens, addressing navigation and configuration handling. Owen implemented real-time alert capabilities by dynamically fetching active notifications from an API, added time-aware UI elements, and improved registration security with password confirmation and robust error handling. Working primarily in Java and Kotlin, he also resolved UI stability issues, resulting in a more maintainable and user-friendly application.
