UBC Department Manager

I took a software maintenance course during my final year at UBC. This course involved working on an existing codebase, this codebase I inherited from a previous capstone group project. The application aims to improve department management, and is currently in use today.

The project uses the Laravel framework, which is PHP based. My time was spent between bug fixes, adding features, database migrations, code refactoring, documentation, and testing.

A significant modification was to alter the database structure so that we could store historic course and instructor records. This migration created a lot of problems in the application. So, after I completed the migration, I began fixing the rest of the application, so that it used the new database relations.

Below are some pictures, and some commentary.

When I first started, each instance of a table had some sort of different, inconsistent styling, which happens when 5 people are working on the same project. I've created a consistent styling between them with re-usable blade components.

After the database migration, I created a new page to view course details.

I heavily modified the instructor dashboard. It showcases archived and non-archived data entries, with nice charts at the bottom.
