Work summary

Generated from the freelancer's own session notes.

  • Found the slowest queries behind the orders page and timed each one.
  • Rewrote the main orders query and added an index for it.
  • Added tests for the orders endpoint.
  • Went through the release plan with the client.
  • Updated the dashboard filters to match the new design.

Observed activity

Derived from captured screens and window titles, not from written notes.

  • Worked in a code editor and a terminal for most of the day, running queries against the orders data.
  • Kept the orders dashboard open in a browser while testing the changes.
  • Joined a video call in the afternoon.
