June 2025: End-to-end user feedback workflow landed (model, routes, and UI) with robust logging and data persistence; implemented and cleaned push functionality test scaffolding to improve test coverage; and fixed feedback data persistence to ensure reliable storage. This delivers measurable business value: better user insight collection, more reliable feedback storage, and reduced debugging time through logging. Technologies demonstrated: full-stack development (backend, frontend, DB), test scaffolding and automation, and observability.
