PROFILE

Simon Duck

Over two months, contributed to the techswitch-learners/whale-watching-june-25 repository by building user management features, secure authentication flows, and data enrichment tools for whale-watching operations. Developed backend APIs in C# with ASP.NET Core and Entity Framework Core, implementing user creation, role assignment, and password policies to enhance access control. Expanded the whale species dataset by integrating CSV-based seed data and updating database schemas, supporting richer analytics. On the frontend, used React and React Leaflet to deliver an interactive map for whale sighting data capture, improving data accuracy and user experience. Focus remained on feature delivery and scalable, maintainable code.

July 2025 monthly summary: Focused on feature delivery and data enrichment to enable secure access, accurate field data capture, and richer analytics for whale-watching operations. Key features delivered include the authentication improvements, an interactive map for whale sighting data, and expanded species coverage. Overall, no major bugs were reported in this period; the team concentrated on delivering business value through feature enhancements and data quality improvements. Key features delivered: - User Authentication System: Implemented logout endpoint in AccountsController, preserving login logic and completing a cleaner authentication flow. File rename reflected in codebase (AccountsLogin.cs → AccountsController.cs). - Interactive Whale Sighting Map: Enabled selecting whale sighting locations on the map within the Create Whale Sighting form, including frontend map interactions, backend adjustments, and improvements to map popups and styling. - Expanded Whale Species Dataset: Updated SpeciesData.csv with new whale species for Baleen and Toothed whales to broaden dataset coverage. Impact and accomplishments: - Strengthened security posture and user experience with a streamlined logout flow. - Improved data capture accuracy and entry efficiency via the interactive map. - Broadened analytic capabilities by expanding the whale species dataset, enabling more comprehensive reporting. Technologies and skills demonstrated: - Backend: C# (AccountsController, API endpoint), code refactoring and file renames. - Frontend: Map interactions and UI polish for whale sightings. - Data engineering: CSV data updates for dataset expansion. - Version control: Descriptive commits aligned with feature work.
