Worked on the AccessAbleNYC repository to deliver advanced map-based routing and location filtering features over a two-month period. Developed and integrated pedestrian and traffic-aware routing using the TomTom API, enhancing navigation reliability and precision for end users. Improved the user interface with React and CSS, introducing a sidebar filter, refined map controls, and accessible options. Hardened error handling for external API responses and optimized performance through code splitting, build tool upgrades, and server-side compression middleware. Leveraged JavaScript and Leaflet.js for interactive mapping, resulting in faster load times, clearer navigation instructions, and a more robust, maintainable codebase for field operations.
December 2024 (2024-12) – AccessAbleNYC – Monthly Summary Key features delivered: - Traffic-aware routing optimization: Reintroduced getClosestTrafficSignal to treat traffic signals as waypoints, enabling routing that progresses toward the destination with improved traffic considerations. - Commit: df1da25721662c01d3a280637d6052330d46772f - Routing UI enhancements: Refined route display, management, and turn-by-turn instructions; implemented single-route display, cleaner UI, and integrated distance/time formatting. - Commits: bea81e37b5bb50bd19d6d9fc48539cea5ba91068; 481de424b11145e847a0d247577f1587b22ae1a1; 973c47281ba9b3977808b397d55c82a4951c22b3; d6b01d5ae5c4c48683c9c66a7ec9db9069515d54; 39c5c6878cfd63a7f069dbc1db03770d6277b78b; 72b1a557a1f10df6b37b93c12d6dd70ae44b60de; 416c2bc986ac5d89ea232ad76e7017e421952f18 - Error handling improvements: Hardened routing and external API response handling to prevent crashes and provide clearer messages. - Commits: e5b6fcf203e2aa323583d6f1a18742f8d0eef75b; 6e77595b469377cf5e1500149a37148fb1a11db0 - UI/Performance polish: Minor UI and performance enhancements including map scrollbar visibility, data accuracy disclaimer, and OpenStreetMap loading optimizations. - Commits: 8321ace5c8e5e20cadd9b0d4416766c27e36867d; 0e2b7825618b640a00a92a007b291a17bb18cafa; a47b356cf0957dfeacc26e4d627cfc39411ecb2d - Build/Performance upgrades and maintenance: Dependency cleanup, build optimizations, and server improvements including compression middleware; improved code splitting and reduced bundle sizes. - Commits: fa1b71c12275752105481dbe9846977af69f2008; 122716a72b22aa699f93abafca362cc9fe067044; f01a9d836c54d17df30a93cc985e64a045771a90; aae841a4e6a72a02f0943d33a22937ff092450dd; 65f2f35b4ce2164f1975ea7bb90ca42985dadf2a Major bugs fixed: - Error handling hardening: Fixed crashes due to unset inputs (start/routeTo) and handled invalid external API responses (TomTom) to prevent JSON parsing errors. - Commits: e5b6fcf203e2aa323583d6f1a18742f8d0eef75b; 6e77595b469377cf5e1500149a37148fb1a11db0 Overall impact and accomplishments: - Substantial improvement in routing accuracy, reliability, and UX, with clearer navigation instructions and robust error handling reducing user-facing crashes. - Performance and stability gains through build optimizations, compression, and smarter code-splitting, resulting in faster load times and smoother user interactions. Technologies and skills demonstrated: - Frontend engineering: React/JS, routing logic, and UI/UX design for routing features. - External API integration: Robust handling of TomTom responses and traffic signal routing logic. - Performance engineering: Compression middleware, OSM tile loading optimizations, and code-splitting strategies. - Build and deployment discipline: Dependency cleanup, modernization of asset loading, and codebase hygiene.
