Selman Akman contributed to the bounswe/bounswe2025group3 repository by building and enhancing full-stack features focused on user authentication, event management, and analytics. He developed React-based frontends with robust API integration, implementing email-based authentication and token management using Django and DRF on the backend. Selman improved user experience through UI restructuring, localization, and gamification, while also expanding test coverage with Jest and React Testing Library. His work included real-time data visualization, leaderboard filtering, and comprehensive input validation, resulting in a more reliable and maintainable codebase. These efforts addressed integration risks and enabled scalable, user-friendly functionality across the application.
December 2025: Delivered major end-to-end product improvements across Event management, Leaderboard, WasteLog, and analytics, with a strong emphasis on business value, localization, and user engagement. Implemented Event model enhancements (duration, equipment_needed, exact_location) and an enhanced creation UI with drag-and-drop uploads, improved validation, and i18n coverage. Introduced time-based Leaderboard filtering with a period API, plus an anonymous leaderboard mode for privacy. Expanded WasteLog with pagination fixes and real-time gamification (badges, feedback) and ensured localization consistency. Enhanced Stats with split charts, timeframe filtering, and level progress visuals, complemented by global validation and translation improvements. These changes improve data quality, UX, and actionable analytics while enabling scalable growth.
