June 2025 focused on security hardening for the electronic monitoring create-an-order service through targeted dependency updates. No new features delivered this month; the primary effort was a security patch that remediated a known vulnerability (SNYK-JS-MULTER-10299078) via a focused patch in package.json and package-lock.json. This work reduces risk, preserves system stability, and maintains compliance with security standards. Technologies and skills demonstrated include Node.js/npm dependency management, patch-based releases, code review discipline, and change-management practices that minimize impact on production.
