Brendan Ly developed core backend features for the mlatsjsu-website repository over a two-month period, focusing on user-generated content and social interaction. He built a Comment Management API supporting full CRUD operations with user authentication, leveraging Node.js, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL for robust database integration. Brendan centralized error handling to standardize client responses and refactored workflows to improve maintainability. He also implemented database triggers in PL/pgSQL to automate comment count updates, ensuring data integrity without manual intervention. Additionally, he delivered a follow/unfollow API endpoint, enhancing user engagement. The work demonstrated depth in API design, authentication, and database management, with clear commit traceability.
