Pratyush Chand developed core backend and admin features for the TritonSE/SPLAGen-Website repository, focusing on scalable API design and robust data management. He implemented user profile and announcements management APIs, refactored user data retrieval for clarity and maintainability, and migrated discussion replies from in-memory storage to MongoDB using Mongoose. His work emphasized error handling, input validation, and code quality through consistent linting and typing in TypeScript and JavaScript. By unifying endpoints and introducing persistent storage, Pratyush improved backend reliability, reduced maintenance overhead, and enabled safer, faster feature delivery, demonstrating depth in Node.js, Express.js, and modern backend engineering practices.

March 2025 — TritonSE/SPLAGen-Website Key features delivered - Backend API cleanup and user data retrieval refactor: Unified user data retrieval endpoints by refactoring getAllUsers to an async route, removed legacy getAllCounselors route, renamed variables for clarity, and applied code quality improvements (linting, typing) across user-related controllers. Commits include: 8f936abd90046bf4f1dcdf5f9ec51c7342537c32; 58fddc6ee4ab185c1107cd82c955c52118f8ae26; 30e487e075dd24b9edc0d5dde51cbc36258d4046; 9c902cdf6cf6bc795b7be06f62c3805325dfc8d2; 1e3a03e3a0b4d7dad5d1d42b28778eb7bde46558; f2b2b6d41a09e24b6c35753c917cd0d534d8d0e9; 604dabed33afd1a684f64cf57134c3536a125f36. - Persist Replies in MongoDB: Replace in-memory storage for replies with MongoDB persistence via Mongoose models; update reply controller, routes, and validators to enable create/retrieve/edit/delete with persistent storage. Commit: bc076b9af511ddcf6758c749c9e751044e8b7a2b. - Discussion API robustness improvements: Add MongoDB ObjectId validation in editDiscussion, ensure deleted counts are properly stringified in delete operations, and validate IDs in deleteMultipleDiscussions to prevent invalid deletions. Commits: 13377008efa8e8d41528c252b2e83f7498edb491; a6a00f07867a2c1ce6799c867e021318be948587. Major bugs fixed - Strengthened data validation and safety checks in the Discussion API to prevent invalid updates and deletions, reducing risk of data corruption and orphaned records. Overall impact and accomplishments - Delivered a more reliable, scalable backend for SPLAGen-Website with durable data storage, reduced API fragmentation, and stronger data integrity. The refactor and persistence layer enable faster, safer feature delivery and lower maintenance costs. The work aligns with quality standards (linting and typing) and improves developer velocity. Technologies/skills demonstrated - Node.js/Express API design, MongoDB/Mongoose persistence, async/await patterns, route refactors, input validation (ObjectId), linting and typing enhancements, and general backend reliability improvements.
