Zach Hodges enhanced dashboard filtering in the DFE-Digital/manage-free-school-projects repository by implementing persistent user-selected filters using cookie-based caching. He introduced support for ProjectStatusSearchTerm filters and refactored parameter handling to streamline filter management. Working primarily with C#, ASP.NET Core, and Cypress, Zach improved the user interface to allow clearing filters from the header and ensured filters persist across navigation and cache deletions. He also refined end-to-end tests, removing unreliable patterns and strengthening coverage. Zach’s work focused on reducing user friction, accelerating data discovery, and improving code quality, demonstrating depth in both backend development and test reliability within a short timeframe.

Consolidated dashboard filtering enhancements with cache persistence in DFE-Digital/manage-free-school-projects (Nov 2024). Delivered persistent user-selected filters across cache deletions, added ProjectStatusSearchTerm filter support, refactored parameter handling, and cookie-based filter caching. Improved UI behavior with clear-filter action from header and ensured filters persist during navigation. Included test refinements and code cleanups for cookie cache and the ProjectOverview model. Overall, the changes reduce user friction, improve data discovery speed, and strengthen test reliability across the dashboard.
