Hector Cordero developed two core features for the KnightHacks/forge repository over a two-month period, focusing on secure access and data integration. He built a Judge Portal that uses React and Next.js to generate dynamic QR codes for judge room access, implementing authentication and middleware with TypeScript to ensure only authorized users could access protected routes. Additionally, Hector enhanced admin workflows by creating a backend query using SQL and Drizzle ORM to consolidate form responses with member details, streamlining data retrieval for administrators. His work demonstrated depth in full stack development, emphasizing secure session management and efficient database integration without reported bugs.

October 2025 — KnightHacks/forge: Delivered a secure Judge Portal with magic links (QR codes) and security middleware. Implemented UI for generating and displaying QR codes for judge rooms, admin-authenticated pages, and secure session validation. Added API and middleware support to verify judge status and protect judge-specific routes; integrated admin checks (isJudgeAdmin) into rendering flow. This work establishes a scalable, auditable access model for judge operations and room management.
