Worked on the mirror-media/Lilith repository over four months, delivering features across access control, UI/UX, and security. Built centralized role configuration with auto-generated role checkers and enforced query access control using TypeScript and GraphQL. Enhanced the admin UI with responsive layouts and improved image handling in React, while introducing editor self-service password changes to balance autonomy and security. Implemented authentication middleware in Express to restrict image route access, adding robust error handling to prevent request hangs. Managed dependency updates for Node.js 18 compatibility and maintained clear, maintainable commits. Demonstrated full stack development skills with a focus on reliability and maintainability.
May 2026 monthly summary for mirror-media/Lilith: Delivered Editor Self-Service Password Change feature enabling editors to update their own passwords while keeping all other fields admin-only. Implemented UI and backend changes to enforce non-admin restrictions, with commit d960ca29800ba4e2d5b9feec50a4eb6a85ee563f. Co-authored by Claude Opus 4.7. Maintained first-user bootstrap bypass and deployment-denied policy for non-admin edits, addressing a key security and usability gap.

April 2026 monthly summary for mirror-media/Lilith: delivered image route access control via user authentication middleware, enhancing security by blocking unauthenticated access to /images/* and returning 401. Implemented robust error handling around the middleware to prevent request hangs and ensure proper propagation within Keystone context requests. Middleware is registered before Keystone's storage static routes, following the existing preview mini-app pattern for predictable behavior. Demonstrated strong collaboration with explicit co-authored commits.

December 2025 — Mirror-media/Lilith: Strengthened security model, UX for content creation, and cross-package collaboration while ensuring Node.js 18 readiness. Highlights include a Lilith-core refactor for centralized role configuration with an allowAllRoles API and auto-generated role checkers, with updates to User.ts to apply allowAllRoles for query access control, enabling consistent, scalable access control across services. The Post list gained an inlineCreate option for heroImage, speeding up post creation. Branding and identity were refreshed with a CustomLogo component and site branding for Mirrormedia and Mirrordaily/Mirrortv, improving brand consistency across pages. A slugCode feature was rolled out, moving slugCode handling to the User, with migrations and validation to generate robust writer identifiers. Related posts workflow was enhanced with custom queries bypassing access filters for editors (with security) and a related-posts-all view to support flexible relationships. Dependency management and Node.js readiness were improved through targeted version bumps and resolution adjustments to ensure compatibility with Node.js 18. Finally, quality efforts included UI tweaks from UAT feedback and fixes for mobile drawer width and image upload button issues.
