Vikram Verma
Over three months, contributed to the Office-of-Digital-Services/cagovportal repository by building and refining a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI) submission workflow. Developed a front-end form using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript that streamlines CVI submissions, including county selection and automated email generation. Enhanced the user experience by implementing Gmail-specific compose flows, improving email routing accuracy, and standardizing data models for cleaner backend integration. Addressed bugs related to URI encoding and case sensitivity, ensuring reliable email delivery and consistent data handling. Relocated the CVI submission page for better maintainability, demonstrating attention to both user experience and long-term code organization.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025 monthly contributions for Office-of-Digital-Services/cagovportal focused on improving CVI submission UX, reliability, and maintainability. Delivered a Gmail-specific CVI email compose flow that uses a Gmail-specific compose URL for Gmail users while preserving the existing mailto-based submission for non-Gmail users. Fixed Gmail user detection in CVI submission to be case-insensitive, ensuring addresses like test@GMAIL.COM are treated as Gmail users. Relocated the CVI submission page from /pages/cvi/index.html to /pages/initiatives/cvi.html, preserving the submission workflow and aligning with a clearer URL structure. Business value and impact: reduced submission friction for Gmail users, improved data path reliability by removing case-sensitivity gaps, and enhanced navigability and maintainability through a centralized page location under initiatives. These changes support higher submission success rates and a more scalable CVI submission architecture.
