Over a two-month period, u1714361@tuks.co.za contributed to the COS301-SE-2025/Swift-Signals repository by developing simulation and optimization features using Python. They enhanced simulation test fidelity by enforcing a minimum speed parameter and introducing a T-junction scenario, improving both realism and test coverage. In the following month, they refactored the optimization service to use a balanced evaluation function for genetic algorithms, tuning parameters and mutation strategies to optimize traffic efficiency and safety. Their work demonstrated skills in simulation, unit testing, and optimization engineering, resulting in more maintainable code and aligning technical solutions with evolving traffic management requirements.
