Over a three-month period, Sarthak Karnik developed five user-facing features across Hack4Impact-UMD/leveling-the-playing-field and Hack4Impact-UMD/h4i-internal-application-tool, focusing on frontend architecture and user experience. He built and internationalized the Order Confirmation and Thank You pages, added receipt navigation, and implemented a full Appointments management flow using React, Next.js, and TypeScript. Sarthak also designed reusable UI components for visualizing application status and applicant progress, integrating them into existing pages to improve clarity for users and stakeholders. His work emphasized maintainable code, componentization, and dynamic state rendering, resulting in streamlined post-purchase flows and enhanced application lifecycle visibility without introducing major bugs.

March 2025 quarterly summary: Delivered two reusable, front-end UI components in Hack4Impact-UMD/h4i-internal-application-tool to enhance visibility into application lifecycles and applicant progress. Implemented the ApplicationTimeline component to visually represent statuses (Submitted, Under Review, Interview, Decision) and integrated it into the StatusPage, enabling clearer tracking for stakeholders. Introduced the ApplyingTimeline component to visualize applicant progress through steps (About Yourself, Resume, More questions, Review) with dynamic status display. All changes emphasize a reusable UI pattern, facilitating faster onboarding and future analytics. Technologies demonstrated include React-based component design, reusable architecture, dynamic state rendering, and incremental integration with existing StatusPage. No major bugs fixed reported this month; focus was on feature delivery and code-quality refinements.
