Back-end DeveloperContributions:89 commits, 97 PRs, 105 pushes in 1 year 7 months
Contributions summary:Stefanos primarily contributed to the personal assistant's core functionality, focusing on implementing commands like "exit", "quit", and "goodbye" to control program termination. They modified the main execution file (`main.py` or `__main__.py`) by adding or correcting these commands, and also by modifying the structure of the file. Their work demonstrates a clear understanding of the application's control flow and user interaction design.
