Alex Payumo developed core features for the SOEN490-CAPSTONE2026/FoodFlow repository, delivering an end-to-end onboarding platform and robust backend for surplus food posts. He designed secure registration flows, implemented CRUD operations, and established automated testing using Java, Spring Boot, and React. His work included containerizing the stack with Docker Compose, integrating metrics and observability with Prometheus and Grafana, and managing database migrations via Flyway. By resolving critical bugs and improving test reliability, Alex enabled faster onboarding, safer deployments, and reproducible environments. The depth of his contributions provided a scalable, maintainable foundation for user registration, surplus management, and real-time communication.

October 2025: Focused on building a robust backend for FoodFlow with emphasis on donor-driven surplus posts, test reliability, and release readiness. Delivered core backend features, expanded testing, migrations, and developer tooling to reduce cycle time and risk. Achieved end-to-end functionality for surplus posts, introduced messaging scaffolding, improved security/test coverage, and enhanced documentation and dev environment. These efforts enable faster feature delivery, better data integrity, and a scalable foundation for user-facing workflows (donors posting surplus, claim flows, and conversations).

September 2025 (SOEN490-CAPSTONE2026/FoodFlow) delivered an end-to-end onboarding platform, a robust testing strategy, containerization of the full stack, and observability enhancements. The work enabled faster, safer onboarding for donors and receivers, reliable deployments, and actionable system insights. Key efforts spanned backend data models and registration flow with security, frontend onboarding screens, comprehensive testing, dockerized infrastructure, and metrics instrumentation. Impact highlights include: improved onboarding reliability and speed, reduced regression risk in user registration via automated tests, reproducible local/CI environments through Docker Compose and environment hygiene, and enhanced observability with Prometheus/Grafana, health checks, and analytics hooks. Technologies demonstrated include Spring Boot, JPA, security, PostgreSQL, React, Jest, Jacoco, Docker, Docker Compose, Prometheus, and Grafana.
