PROFILE
Austin Bennett
Over a three-month period, contributed backend infrastructure to the DSC-McMaster-U/ai-journal repository, focusing on scalable deployment and robust data management. Established a Docker-based deployment pipeline using Dockerfile and Node.js 18 Alpine to standardize environments across development and production. Designed and implemented the core SQL database schema, including tables for users, journals, and activities, and introduced environment-aware backup capabilities with mysqldump scripting. Developed the backend for chat instance management using Express.js and Node.js, delivering full CRUD operations with persistent storage. The work emphasized maintainable architecture, enabling reproducible deployments, reliable data integrity, and extensible backend services for future feature growth.
