Maximilian Pelka focused on backend and security engineering for the vivid-planet/comet-starter repository over a two-month period. He enhanced the project’s security posture by implementing and refining HTTP security headers, including HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy, and tuning the Content Security Policy to mitigate XSS and clickjacking risks. Using TypeScript and Node.js, he delivered codebase-wide configuration changes that improved compliance readiness and risk reduction. Additionally, he enabled GraphQL Playground for local development by relaxing CSP in non-production environments, streamlining debugging and feature validation. His work demonstrated depth in security configuration and practical backend development without introducing major bugs.

Concise monthly summary for 2025-03 focused on enabling local development tooling for the vivid-planet/comet-starter repository by relaxing CSP to allow GraphQL Playground in non-production environments, reducing debugging friction and accelerating feature validation.
