Project: InterviewHub

InterviewHub is a desktop application that helps engineering hiring managers to manage applicants and interviews. The user interacts with it using a Command Line Interface (CLI), and it has a Graphical User Interface (GUI) created with JavaFX. It is written in Java, and has about 18 kLoC.

I am responsible for the User Interface (UI) component of the project. Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • New Feature: Interview List Panel UI component
    • What it does: Allows the user to view Interview objects in a list format
    • Justification: This feature is the core of the UI component of InterviewHub. Creating this feature allows the user to view Interviews concurrently with applicants, facilitating the interview scheduling process.
  • New Feature: Interview List Card color coded border based on interview status
    • What it does: Allows the user to view the interview status of all interviews at a glance, with red border signifying an incomplete interview and green border signifying a completed interview
    • Justification: This feature is essential to the functionality of InterviewHub. It facilitates mark interview as done command as well as sort command based on interview status. So that the user can see at a glance, all upcoming and incomplete interviews scheduled. As well as all completed and rated interviews to facilitate the post interview reviewing process.
  • New Feature: Applicant List Card color coded border based on whether applicant has interview scheduled
    • What it does: Allows the user to view all applicant’s status at a glance, with red border signifying no interview is scheduled and green border signifying an interview has been scheduled
    • Justification: This feature is essential to the functionality of InterviewHub. It allows the user to quickly identify which applicant has no interview scheduled yet and thereby proceed to schedule an interview for the applicant.
