Over a two-month period, contributed to the Monash-FIT3170/2025W1-Skilltree repository by delivering five new features focused on frontend usability and data visualization. Work included enhancing user profile interfaces with dialog-driven follower lists, refining leaderboard components with pagination and improved data structures, and updating dark theme color variables for better accessibility. Developed robust skill tree visualizations using parent-child mapping and node position clamping to prevent layout overlaps. Implemented end-to-end community post creation with media upload and server-side integration. Leveraged React, TypeScript, and Next.js throughout, emphasizing maintainable code, UI stability, and scalable state management without introducing regressions or unresolved bugs.
October 2025 - Monash-FIT3170/2025W1-Skilltree: Delivered two core features with measurable usability and maintainability gains. Skill Tree UI Enhancements implemented robust parent-child mapping, node position clamping to prevent overlaps, and layout refinements (gap tuning, single-root clarity) to improve visualization reliability. Post Creation in Community delivered end-to-end posting with title/description/media/tags support and server action integration; later refactors simplified the form by removing title and tags. These efforts yielded improved user experience, reduced visual noise, and a cleaner maintenance surface. Commit traceability provided by linked commits.
