Elfgorithm

Elfgorithm is a Secret Santa SaaS app created as a part of the Gridiron Survivor Software Engineering Apprenticeship. This website allows users to set up a gift exchange group and utilizes the OpenAI API to generate gift suggestions based on the recipient's preferences.

This project provided a good opportunity to get up to speed on an unfamiliar, complex code base and quickly begin contributing. I conducted two significant audits of this site - identifying gaps in testing and accessibility - and generated prioritized tickets organized into epics.

I also enjoyed working directly in the code base, making UI/UX and functionality improvements as well as addressing bugs.
