Project: TAfinder

TAfinder is a desktop resource management application used by NUS SOC professors to choose TAs from a large pool of applicants. The user interacts with it using a CLI, and it has a GUI created with JavaFX. It is written in Java, and has about 10 kLoC.

Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • New Feature: Added the ability to bookmark/unbookmark users.
    • What it does: allows the user to bookmark/unbookmark specific applicants of their choice, and list all bookmarked applicants. (List function later enhanced by Amy)
    • Justification: This feature improves the product significantly because a user may want to take special note of certain applicants or may require a way to sigal which applicants have already been chosen to be a TA.
    • Highlights: This feature’s development involved creating new data structures for bookmarking, extending the user interface, and ensuring seamless integration with existing application features.
  • New Feature: Added an initial view command to display a singular applicant.
    • What it does: allows the user to view a singular applicant.
    • Justification: This feature improves the product significantly because a user may want to view and evaluate just one applicant’s details instead of the whole list.
    • Credits: Later updated by Ravern to display applicant on a separate panel.
