Katharine Zhang developed core location-based features for the ButterWalk repository, focusing on both frontend and backend integration using JavaScript, TypeScript, and React. She built a client-side BuildingService to manage campus-building data, enabling efficient retrieval of location coordinates and supporting scalable mapping capabilities. Her work included integrating the Google Places API for real-time location search with campus-specific filtering, as well as implementing backend persistence for recent ride request locations. By refining geolocation data and aligning with the latest campusAPI, Katharine improved map accuracy and data flows, laying a solid foundation for enhanced user experience and future geospatial analytics.
