Over a two-month period, contributed to the tboulund-dls/HappyHeadlines repository by architecting and delivering a scalable backend foundation for user-generated content. Developed a Dockerized .NET Comment Service with PostgreSQL integration, implementing data models, API endpoints, and documentation while establishing cross-service data contracts through SharedModels. Enhanced repository hygiene by refining .gitignore rules and streamlining project structure for maintainability. Refactored the data layer to denormalize author information, reducing service coupling and improving read performance. Leveraged C#, SQL, and Docker Compose to enable reliable deployments, comprehensive API documentation, and efficient onboarding, laying the groundwork for moderated content and future feature expansion.
In April 2025, delivered the foundational architecture and delivery surfaces for tboulund-dls/HappyHeadlines, establishing Dockerized deployment, OpenAPI exposure, and a PostgreSQL-backed Comment Service. Implemented cross-service data contracts via SharedModels and prepared scalable data layer with initial schemas, migrations, environment config, and API scaffolding. These efforts enable faster feature delivery, reliable integrations, and maintainable growth across services.
