1. Responsibilities

I worked in the mobile subgroup of Social Event Mapper. My responsibilities were implementing and improving mobile user flows, especially event discovery, map-based browsing, dark mode, notifications, event detail interactions, host-side event management, invitation flow alignment, and final mobile UI/UX polish. I also contributed to mobile release stabilization by fixing map rendering, localization, iOS build, and final milestone UI issues, and by adding missing mobile UI and unit tests before the final release.

2. Main Contributions

• Implemented the mobile map-based event discovery experience, including the map/list toggle, event markers, category markers, layout polish, and event calendar behavior in PR #549 and PR #568.
• Added event map clustering and location overlays to make dense event areas easier to browse on mobile in PR #630.
• Implemented dark mode across the mobile application in PR #544.
• Added a full in-app notification center to the mobile client in PR #539.
• Implemented host event editing and attendance reconfirmation UI on the mobile event detail screen in PR #604.
• Improved the mobile invitation experience by moving invitations to the profile area and aligning the create/invitation flow with final milestone UX expectations in PR #628.
• Fixed inconsistencies in the map view, event detail screen, backend invitation contract handling, localization behavior, and mobile map rendering in PR #594 and PR #649.
• Added missing mobile UI and unit tests for final release confidence in PR #657.

3. Significant Issues

Code-Related

1. Issue #418: Implemented dark mode across the mobile app in PR #544, improving visual consistency and accessibility for low-light usage.
2. Issue #457: Added the map view toggle to event discovery in PR #549, allowing users to switch between list-based and map-based discovery.
3. Issue #459 and Issue #461: Implemented host event editing and attendance reconfirmation UI in PR #604, supporting the final milestone event lifecycle.

Non-Code-Related

1. Lab 10 Report: Prepared the final demo structure by creating the Lab 10 report page and writing the main final demo script, demo scenarios, and demo-data strategy in the Final Demo Plan. This helped the team present the final milestone flows in a coherent and realistic order.

2. Issue #520: Wrote the Lab 9 data strategy, defining how synthetic test data would be accumulated, what kinds of users/events/tickets/states would be represented, and which testing methodologies would be used. The contribution is documented in the Lab 9 Report.

3. Issue #591: Participated in mobile PR review and integration discussions to keep the mobile client aligned with backend contracts and final milestone requirements, especially around the updated invitation flow. Related PR: PR #594.

Conflict Resolution

I helped resolve mobile integration issues caused by fast-moving backend and frontend contracts during the final milestone. The main conflict areas were event detail behavior, invitation contract alignment, map rendering, localization updates, and ensuring that final mobile flows stayed consistent with deployed backend APIs.

5. AI Transparency & Documentation

1. Tool summary: Cursor / ChatGPT: Used for implementation support, code navigation, debugging ideas, refactoring suggestions, and documentation wording.
2. Prompts: No single public prompt-log document was maintained during the term. AI assistance was used as a development aid, and all suggestions were reviewed, adapted, and tested before inclusion.

6. Individual Testing Efforts

1. PR #657: Added missing mobile UI and unit tests for final milestone coverage.
2. PR #649: Verified fixes for map rendering, localization issues, and final mobile UI bugs.
3. PR #552: Fixed and validated iOS build compatibility.
4. Mobile component and view model tests: Contributed to the mobile test suite covering UI behavior, view models, and final milestone interactions.
5. Mobile Maestro E2E scenarios: Helped keep final mobile flows compatible with end-to-end test expectations by stabilizing discovery, event detail, invitation, and map behavior.

7. Additional Information

My final milestone work focused on making the mobile application feel complete and stable for real users. I worked especially on map-based discovery, notification visibility, dark mode, event management, invitation placement, and final UI polish. I also helped stabilize the release by fixing build issues, map rendering problems, localization inconsistencies, and missing mobile test coverage.
