Alec Song delivered a cohesive set of backend enhancements for the HappyCows project, focusing on student data management in the ucsb-cs156-f24/proj-happycows-f24-09 repository. He restructured the data model to introduce granular name fields and renamed core entities for improved integrity, while removing legacy query patterns. Alec developed RESTful API endpoints using Java and Spring Boot, implementing role-based access for secure retrieval and creation of student records, and restricting updates and deletions to admin users. Comprehensive unit tests with JUnit and Mockito ensured robust behavior, resulting in a maintainable, secure, and migration-friendly backend aligned with business requirements.

Delivered a cohesive set of backend improvements for the HappyCows project in November 2024, focusing on data model improvements, a full lifecycle of student records via API, and robust access control. The changes enable precise student identity fields, safer renaming of core tables, role-based access for retrieval/creation, and admin-only update/delete with tests, resulting in stronger data integrity, secure operations, and improved maintainability.
