During October 2025, Brewer focused on the Pangolins repository, delivering two features that enhanced both user experience and deployment reliability. Brewer implemented persistent theme selection by saving the user’s light or dark mode preference to localStorage, ensuring consistent UX across sessions. On the infrastructure side, Brewer modernized Docker deployment by removing unnecessary HTTPS redirection middleware and outdated continuous deployment workflows, while updating JWT issuer and database references for improved security. The work demonstrated practical use of C#, TypeScript, and Docker, reflecting a balanced approach to both frontend and backend development with attention to maintainability, security, and streamlined DevOps processes.

October 2025 — Pangolins (250908-NET/Pangolins). Focused on delivering key UX improvements and streamlining deployment/infrastructure for faster, more secure releases. Key outcomes include: - User Theme Persistence: Implemented saving the user's theme (light/dark) to localStorage to persist across sessions. - Infrastructure modernization: Docker deployment simplification, removal of HTTPS redirection middleware in containerized environments, removal of outdated CD workflows, and security/config updates (JWT issuer and database reference) to improve reliability and security. - Build and security enhancements: Fixed build script and corrected JWT issuer setting to ensure reliable builds and proper authentication. Overall impact: improved user experience, reduced deployment friction, lowered maintenance overhead, and stronger security posture. Technologies/skills demonstrated: localStorage-based UX persistence, .NET/containerized deployment, Docker, JWT authentication, security configuration, build scripting, and CI/CD optimization.
