Month: 2025-03 — Backend refactor focused on modularity and maintainability. Implemented Areas-based organization by relocating models and controllers into dedicated Areas folders with files renamed to reflect their new locations. The change was captured in a single commit with explicit rollback guidance to ensure safe revert if issues arise. This work reduces cross-module coupling, lowers long-term maintenance costs, and paves the way for independent feature development and faster testing. Impact: clearer architecture, improved testability, and a solid foundation for scalable features and onboarding. Tech/Skills demonstrated: Areas-based project organization, modular design, clean refactor practices, and Git commit hygiene with rollback notes.
