Owen Song developed targeted user discovery and event filtering features for the Daggerpov/Spawn-App-Back-End repository, focusing on scalable API design and robust error handling. He implemented endpoints in Java and Spring Boot to enable friend-tag-based user and event searches, supporting more relevant onboarding and engagement flows. Owen unified event retrieval logic and improved maintainability by refactoring service layers and clarifying API paths. He also enhanced API reliability by introducing global not-found error handling with entity-specific exceptions and standardized error responses, reducing troubleshooting time. His work demonstrated depth in backend development, emphasizing clean code, maintainability, and clear API contracts for client integration.

March 2025: Spawn-App-Back-End delivered targeted API reliability improvements and a cleanup pass. Implemented Global Not Found Error Handling for Entities with entity-specific exceptions for Event and User, differentiated empty lists from missing resources, and standardized API error responses to improve clarity for API consumers. Performed code cleanup by removing an unused UserNotFoundException constructor to reduce dead code and maintenance overhead. These changes improve API contract reliability, speed up client integration, and reduce troubleshooting time, supported by commit traceability across the following changes.
