Contribution to Project: Jacob Adams brought extensive experience in Django-based web development to this project, playing a critical role in both the back-end and front-end architecture. Leveraging his strong command of Django, Adams was responsible for designing and implementing key middleware components that structured the flow of data between the back-end database and the front-end user interface. His work ensured efficient data retrieval and seamless integration across different modules of the tool. On the front-end, Adams developed custom JavaScript functions and implemented advanced CSS styling to enhance user interactivity and maintain a cohesive visual identity throughout the application. He collaborated with UX and design lead, Dr. Terri N. Hernandez, to ensure that both functionality and aesthetics were tightly aligned with user needs. Adams’ adaptability and fluency across both technical and visual domains made him a vital contributor to the DataViz tool.
