Zina Ashraf developed robust mobile and backend features across repositories such as Baghdad-Squad/Novix and Shanghai-Squad/MovieApp, focusing on end-to-end flows for saved lists, UI foundations, and data consistency. She implemented session-aware API endpoints, integrated Retrofit-based network layers, and established local data persistence using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. Her work included refactoring UI components for maintainability, propagating character data across DTOs and entities, and enhancing test coverage for reliability. By standardizing data models and improving state management, Zina enabled faster feature delivery and easier onboarding, while her codebase cleanups and modular architecture improved long-term maintainability and development velocity.

September 2025 was a UI and data-layer acceleration month for Shanghai-Squad/MovieApp. Key features delivered include comprehensive UI enhancements, data propagation improvements, and new recommendation capabilities, all designed to boost user engagement and ease of maintenance. The UI refresh across buttons, tabs, and controls, plus the introduction of You Might Also Like and TV show recommendations, improved navigation consistency and cross-page theming. Data layer propagation of character names across DTOs, entities, and UI state reduced duplication and improved data consistency in episode and cast views. Configurability improvements remove hard-coded values and introduce string resources for easier theming and localization. A major bug fix included merge conflict resolution during batch integration, restoring stable builds. Overall impact: faster feature delivery, more polished UI, and stronger maintainability with better design system and API integration. Technologies/skills demonstrated: UI/UX design, refactoring, data-layer propagation, API endpoints integration, theming with color resources, and code quality maintenance.
