Developed the backend foundation for the purple-array project, focusing on secure user management, journaling, and timezone-aware content delivery. Leveraging Node.js, Express.js, and MongoDB, the work included initializing the backend, designing normalized user models, and implementing JWT-based authentication with bcrypt password hashing. The journal subsystem featured history tracking, timezone handling, and robust input validation, while a rewards and coins system was integrated to reflect user activity. Emphasis was placed on data minimization, schema validation, and futureproofing. Code quality improvements, including linting and documentation updates, ensured maintainability. All contributions were delivered within the freeCodeCamp-2025-Summer-Hackathon/purple-array repository.
July 2025 (2025-07) — Backend foundation and feature delivery for the purple-array project with a focus on secure user management, journaling, and timezone-aware content. Key features delivered span MongoDB-backed backend initialization, user model scaffolding with singular naming, and a complete authentication flow (bcrypt password hashing, JWT-based protection, signup/login flows, and cookie-based middleware) along with endpoint scaffolding for settings. The journal subsystem was implemented with controller/routes, history tracking, timezone handling, and safeguards for deletions. A rewards/coins system was integrated to reflect user activity, and data handling improvements were introduced (validation controls, data minimization on settings updates, and futureproofing). Documentation updates (README/.env guidance) and code quality improvements (lint, comments, naming conventions) were completed. Admin-facing access control groundwork (admin flag) positioned for future endpoint protection, with ongoing emphasis on security, data integrity, and maintainability.
