I have always been a solo developer, trying to create something for fun, for myself, trying to get something off the ground, whatever programming I do I did it by myself.

Recently I got involved with the COVID-19 HIMS program as a volunteer to contribute to the open source program. The COVID-19 HIMS will be a central hub that will streamline the COVID-19 data collection in Sri Lanka. So it is going to be a huge project.

There are around 20 developers at the moment, majority of them being undergraduates. The first task I undertook in the new project is to redesign the user interface, because the old user interface was quickly built due to the ever expanding pandemic, and needed some improvements so that regular healthcare workers can manage the system.

I was working with a small group of 10 undergraduates collaborating with me to redesign the user interface. When they joined I was already redesigning the front end, and the students will complete their task and I will merge their changes with my development branch, which will go on to replace the master branch and will go in to production within next week.
