Pasindu Rasanjana worked on the Pickn-Go backend, focusing on enhancing the user authentication system within the MavithaShehar/pickn-go-backend repository. Over the course of a month, Pasindu expanded the user model by adding address fields and rewrote the model to support new validation flows. Using JavaScript, Express.js, and MongoDB, Pasindu strengthened registration and password reset validation with express-validator, improving data integrity and onboarding reliability. The work included refining authentication middleware file naming and resolving a confirm-password error, resulting in a more secure and maintainable authentication flow. The depth of changes addressed both security and user experience in backend development.
