Jon Nenciu developed core backend features for the Purdue-ACM-SIGAPP/housing-backend repository over three months, focusing on secure, scalable API design. He implemented geolocation and search enhancements for building data, integrating Google Maps Geocoding and centralizing bounding box logic using C# and ASP.NET Core. Jon also built a MongoDB-backed identity system, extending user models and configuring authentication with ASP.NET Core Identity. He introduced robust role-based access control for event management APIs, enforcing ownership and authorization policies to strengthen data integrity and auditability. His work emphasized dependency injection, testability, and clear access governance, resulting in maintainable, production-ready backend infrastructure.

February 2025 monthly summary: Implemented Role-based Access Control for the Event Management API in housing-backend, improving security and access governance. The change restricts POST, PUT, and DELETE operations to specific roles (Student, ResidentAssistant, GreekLife, Admin) via [Authorize(Roles = "Student,ResidentAssistant,GreekLife,Admin")] in EventsController. Linked changes to commit 679198b9446e7b00752d4119c806d7df079b86cd with message 'add roles to authorization headers'. No other major features or bug fixes documented for this month. This work reduces risk, clarifies permissions, and enhances auditability for event management.

January 2025: Purdue-ACM-SIGAPP/housing-backend shipped secure Event API access control. Implemented role-based authorization across all Event methods, enforced ownership for mutations, and linked created events to the authenticated user. These changes strengthen data integrity, security, and auditable actions while laying groundwork for scalable access policies.
