Tiago Graf contributed to the bcgov/SIMS repository by delivering a range of features and stability improvements across both backend and frontend systems. He built dynamic forms, notification systems, and mobile-ready UI components using TypeScript, Vue.js, and Node.js, focusing on data integrity, security, and user experience. His work included implementing API endpoints, database migrations, and automated testing to support evolving business requirements such as SIN verification, maintenance mode, and program management. Tiago’s technical approach emphasized maintainable code, robust configuration management, and end-to-end reliability, resulting in improved platform scalability, reduced risk, and enhanced productivity for stakeholders and development teams.
March 2026 (bcgov/SIMS): Delivered critical UX enhancements, backend improvements, and reliability upgrades across core student information workflows.

February 2026 (bcgov/SIMS): Delivered key features in the SIMS module, strengthened data integrity, and completed platform upgrades, driving improved program management, risk reduction, and dev velocity. Key feature work includes: a new Ministry Pending Programs view with enhanced filtering/sorting for institution programs, and a corresponding backend pending programs endpoint and updated UI navigation; a duplicate SIN validation flow in the Ministry Portal with frontend confirmation and backend checks; and data integrity improvements that set and backfill the creator field for application change requests and notes, including a NOT NULL constraint. Platform upgrades included upgrading Node.js to 25.6 across backend/frontend services and updating Dependabot configuration to improve dependency management. Also, the test suite was cleaned to remove obsolete 2022-2023 E2E tests, reducing flaky builds and improving reliability. These changes collectively improve business value by enabling faster program processing, stronger data quality, and more stable CI/CD.

Summary for 2026-01: Delivered four core features across SIMS, improved data integrity, and fixed critical UX issues. Enhanced offering management with a redesigned Summary View, including Start Study Date Range and Intensity filters, updated data table presentation, and corrected Add Offering permissions; this also included backend filter logic improvements and end-to-end tests. Added Forecast Date column to the Disbursement Report via a SQL migration, enabling better forecasting and reporting. Standardized Date of Birth input to ISO format for Supporting Users to improve search accuracy and data integrity. Introduced a new 'Assessed costs and need' table on the Assessment Form to provide detailed visibility into government funding and related costs. Addressed bugs that affected business behavior and UX: disbursement code sorting restoration to previous behavior, removal of whitespace from postal codes pre-populated from BCSC, and fix for tab navigation scroll arrows on small screens. Implemented end-to-end tests for the new flows and maintained a compact UI density for consistent presentation. Business impact includes improved data quality, enhanced forecasting capabilities, better reporting fidelity, and improved user productivity across SIMS.
