Jasper Smitz worked on the Prism098/CDI-Games repository, focusing on backend enhancements to improve security, reliability, and data integrity. Over two months, Jasper delivered client-side field-level encryption and modularized key management in the MongoDB driver, refactored connection pooling, and improved event handling to support scalable, low-latency database operations. Using JavaScript, TypeScript, and Node.js, Jasper also optimized server startup and MongoDB connectivity, introduced a Recent Scores API endpoint, and added createdAt timestamps for user entries. The work demonstrated depth in asynchronous programming, authentication mechanisms, and REST API design, resulting in more robust, auditable, and performant backend infrastructure.
