Yusuf Anil Yazici ‐ Individual Contribution

Yusuf Anıl Yazıcı

• Responsibilities:
  Frontend development, UI/UX design, bug fixing, accessibility implementation, DevOps support, project planning and requirements documentation

• Main Contributions:
  During CM1, I primarily contributed to frontend development of the web application, focusing on user interface improvements and accessibility. I implemented the user profile page and prepared it for backend integration. I generated AI-powered food images and added them to the database, then introduced an image-loading mechanism that serves images at different qualities to improve app performance.

  I fixed multiple UI bugs including pagination colors in light mode, dietary button visibility issues, and ensured the Meal Planner uses consistent UI. On the DevOps side, I added .dockerignore files and fixed EAS configuration for APK builds. I also implemented a polling system for the forum feature to keep like counts synchronized.

  In addition to technical work, I contributed to documentation and planning by taking meeting notes, updating software requirements to include W3C accessibility and inclusive design standards, reorganizing the SRS, updating the README, and writing use-case scenarios for the milestone 1 demo. Throughout the semester, I actively reviewed teammates' pull requests and helped troubleshoot environment and Docker issues.
