BetterSheet

Oct 2023 – Dec 2023

Built a dynamic spreadsheet application, complete with cell references, formulas, multi-sheet management, CSV/Excel import/export, and undo/redo capabilities.

Applied the observer design pattern to manage cell dependencies and updates, preventing circular references, and developed an expression parser using the state design pattern for handling complex formulas.

Implemented Agile best practices using GitHub for version control and integrating a CI/CD pipeline to streamline development, achieving over 90% test coverage with Jest for synchronous and asynchronous testing.
