Over three months, contributed to the OZ-CSC-480-HCI-521-Fall-2024 repository by building secure, scalable API features and improving project and task management workflows. Focused on robust backend development using JavaScript, Java, and Docker, the work included implementing containerized environments, enforcing user ownership and authorization, and centralizing RESTful API handling. Enhanced security through route-level protection and HTTPS enforcement, while also streamlining authentication and session management. Improved UI/UX by refactoring task and project pages, consolidating workflows, and addressing stability issues. Maintained high code quality with thorough documentation, database cleanup, and ongoing refactoring, resulting in a more reliable and maintainable application.
December 2024 highlights: Delivered end-to-end improvements in the OZ-CSC-480-HCI-521-Fall-2024 project, focusing on robust project lifecycle management, enhanced task workflows, and stability improvements. The work enabled a more reliable product experience with clear business value in project data handling, task management, and secure communications.

November 2024 highlights for OZ-CSC-480-HCI-521-Fall-2024: Delivered a containerized development/deployment pipeline with Docker and Docker Compose, enabling reproducible environments and faster onboarding (containerization, docker compose, docker readme). Restored and hardened core logic (task retrieval, session management) including a fix for sessionId cookies and JWT issuer, plus native login improvements. Hardened API security with route-level protection, and expanded task management with a trashed-tasks API and proxy enhancements. Improved API consistency by returning IDs in PUT responses. UI/UX improvements include consolidating task and project pages and beginning task panel refactor. Front-end Docker switched to Bun for faster builds; build/dependency hygiene improved (pom.xml, test scope). Security hygiene: ignored sensitive files, updated gitignore, removed stale artifacts, and database cleanup to remove stray tasks.db. These changes collectively enhance reliability, security, performance, and maintainability, delivering tangible business value through safer authentication, stable task workflows, faster deployments, and easier future changes.

October 2024 — Repository: Paul-Austin-Oswego-CSC480-HCI521/OZ-CSC-480-HCI-521-Fall-2024. Delivered security-focused API enhancements and expanded resource management: Proxy Plugin Routing Enhancements with anticipated routes for user, project, and task management, plus generalized GET/POST/PUT/DELETE handling and new routes for user details, project CRUD, and task filtering endpoints. Also implemented User Ownership and Authorization Enforcement for Projects and Tasks by associating users to resources and refactoring DAO layers to enforce ownership, ensuring users can only access their data. Commit references: a99ce58fcc7b13ab4543ce8027ea3ca1782df823; 981ee0001e4db58475721e36fbfcbc78c49e27fd. No major bugs fixed this month; focus was on delivering robust features and security improvements. Overall impact: improved data security, integrity, and scalability of resource management, enabling safer collaboration and easier future extension. Technologies/skills demonstrated: RESTful routing, API centralization, DAO/refactor for ownership, access control, and enhanced filtering capabilities.
