Over a two-month period, contributed to the AM1007/foodies-app repository by building robust backend features and improving frontend readiness. Developed a database seeding script to migrate and map recipe data from JSON to SQL, establishing relationships between recipes and ingredients using SQL and Sequelize. Enhanced the REST API with advanced filtering, pagination, and endpoints for recipe discovery and favorites management. Strengthened security through a comprehensive CORS policy overhaul and centralized error handling. Improved user experience by implementing frontend data preloading, recipe ID validation, and image processing with Cloudinary. Worked primarily with JavaScript, Node.js, and Express.js to ensure maintainable, scalable solutions.
In May 2025, delivered major backend hardening and frontend readiness for AM1007/foodies-app. Key features included a CORS policy overhaul with security hardening, centralized HTTP error handling, frontend startup data preload, recipe ID validation, image handling improvements, and backend environment bootstrap. These changes improved cross-domain security, reliability, user-facing error messaging, faster initial UX, robust ID validation, and streamlined onboarding.
