Over six months, contributed to the GreenCity, GreenCityUBS, and GreenCityUser repositories by building and refining backend features focused on AI-driven content, user management, and security. Developed and optimized EcoNews relevance algorithms, integrated OpenAI APIs for automated news generation, and enhanced multilingual content workflows. Improved reliability through robust scheduling, caching with Caffeine, and comprehensive unit testing using Java and Spring Boot. Addressed critical bugs in user data handling, notification workflows, and access control, while enforcing role-based security and refining DTO mapping. The work emphasized maintainability, data integrity, and operational stability, supporting scalable feature rollouts and improved user experiences across services.
November 2025 monthly summary focusing on key features delivered, major bugs fixed, and overall impact. Highlights across GreenCityUBS, GreenCityUser, and GreenCity include security enhancements, data contract alignment, and algorithm refinements that deliver measurable business value. Key outcomes: improved order and payment status handling with a dedicated Status Mapper and unit tests; API field alignment to ensure frontend/backend consistency; RBAC enforcement on client status updates; enhanced access control model with EDIT_CLIENT authority and updated admin/super admin permissions; and a refined news relevance algorithm improving content relevance and reducing false positives. These changes reduce manual processing errors, increase data integrity, bolster security posture, and improve user experience and maintainability. Technologies demonstrated include Java, Spring, Spring Security (@PreAuthorize), DTO mapping, unit testing, and RBAC design.

September 2025 (2025-09) performance summary: Delivered core features for EcoNews relevance and improved user data reliability, while enhancing code quality and maintainability across GreenCity repos. Achievements include personalized EcoNews retrieval with environment-based toggles, relevance scoring and caching, new API endpoints for relevant news, and standardized secret/env naming. Cleaned up user identity handling via email-based mapping, removed outdated fields, and improved data reliability for friend-related flows. General maintenance included YAML formatting fixes and a refactor of the data access layer to a service/specifications model. Also fixed critical validation for notification templates and robust email handling to prevent mapping exceptions. These efforts reduce operational risk, improve user engagement, and provide a scalable foundation for future features.
