Nyika Wachira developed two backend features for the Hack-PSU/apiv3 repository over a two-month period, focusing on reimbursement workflow automation and status management. Using TypeScript and leveraging API development skills, Nyika enhanced the finance controller to support granular rejection types and introduced a new submitted_to_asa status, enabling automated routing and reducing manual intervention. The work included refactoring the Finance entity by removing the rejectionReason enum and integrating email notifications to the ASA team when reimbursements reached the SUBMITTED_TO_ASA status. These changes improved workflow automation, maintainability, and processing speed, demonstrating thoughtful backend design and careful attention to downstream system compatibility.
