I'm surprised this is upvoted so much. All we have is a LinkedIn post and a GitHub repo. We haven't seen any of the original emails/writing from UW, not have we heard UW's view.
Am I being overly skeptical here?

To be fair he follows up the first post saying that the university is holding his future registration hostage unless he builds them a similar website:https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jdkaim_github-jdkaimhuskyswap...
What might have happened is that UW offered that he could keep the website up if he changed the project in such a way a way that the university is happy with it.
We don't know how much escalation has happened already, maybe he gave grounds for UW to not give him the account back because he has indicated he wouldn't back down and try to find a way to get his project to work nonetheless.
In fact if you go on GitHub, their project presentation lists a 6 people team: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/117dGuEK98-TwAPGUBijf.... He was on the backend team, but still mentions angular in the LinkedIn post.
Did the others not do anything? Or why is he not giving them credit in the LinkedIn post?
By that metric, he did half the work. But it still means he completely disregards the other half.
vs
46 commits, +478, -94 LOC
I think it's safe to say it was mostly him.
Out of the 273k LOC added, all but 20k, that is 253k are just from the boilerplate auto-generated copy/paste initialization code: https://github.com/JDKaim/HuskySwap/commit/e9f0df0d5a221b3c7...
Sure he probably did most of the coding, but it's still weird to talk all about I and not mention the other 5 in a single word when they _did_ contribute. Maybe they did testing or other things that are not reflected in LOC, e.g. presentations etc.
Update: I see, LightNap is the work of Ed Kaim, surname checks out. https://github.com/SharpLogic/LightNap
