During January 2025, Kevin Chavez developed a Product Catalog API for the elascano/ESPE2410-AWDSW2296 repository, focusing on backend architecture using Express.js, Node.js, and MongoDB. He designed a dedicated products schema and implemented a GET endpoint to retrieve all products, centralizing catalog data for consistent access across services. The API established a scalable foundation for future catalog features, such as search and filtering, by integrating robust MongoDB connectivity and data modeling. While the work was limited to a single feature and did not include bug fixes, it demonstrated a clear, well-structured approach to backend service development and data management.
