During two months on the igrowker/i004-pawsome-back repository, Alejandro Hernandez developed end-to-end donation and resource management features supporting scalable donor pipelines and refugee aid. He designed and implemented RESTful APIs, data models, and controllers for donation requests, refugees, animals, and material donations, integrating Stripe-based payment processing and robust authentication. Using Node.js, Express.js, and MongoDB with Mongoose, Alejandro improved input validation, error handling, and data integrity, while adding inventory tracking and volunteer management endpoints. His work emphasized maintainable architecture and operational flexibility, resulting in a reliable backend that streamlines donation workflows and enhances both donor experience and administrative efficiency.

December 2024 backend delivery focused on robust donation processing and volunteer management. Implemented donation processing improvements with stricter input validation, default image handling, enriched Stripe checkout session metadata (refugee and user IDs), and support for monetary and item donations via new material donations endpoints. Added a PUT endpoint for updating volunteer opportunities and wired through full controller/service/routing layers. Fixed critical bugs in donation endpoints and extended material donation APIs with getMaterialDonationById and updateMaterialDonation. These changes improve reliability, data integrity, and operational flexibility, enabling better donor experience and volunteer program management.
