Ryan Choi focused on stabilizing and enhancing the Recommendation service in the ucsb-cs156-s25/proj-rec-s25-14 repository, delivering a data model upgrade that introduced a foreign key for recommendation types and normalized numeric fields to bigint for improved data integrity. He refined API error handling by shifting invalid recommendation type ID responses from NotFound to BadRequest, clarifying client feedback. Using Java, Spring Boot, and SQL, Ryan also resolved merge conflicts, standardized migration file naming, and updated integration and unit tests to maintain CI stability. His work improved repository reliability, enabled safer deployments, and reduced debugging time through better test coverage and data consistency.
