PROFILE
Tom Van
Over a three-month period, contributed to the COSC481W-2024Fall/Ript-Fitness repository by building and enhancing backend features focused on user profile management, data integrity, and secure photo storage. Applied Java, Spring Boot, and SQL to refactor authentication flows, shifting from numeric IDs to JWT-derived usernames for improved security and clarity. Developed and integrated DTO patterns for consistent data handling, introduced timezone-aware scheduling, and enabled Azure Blob Storage for scalable photo management. Addressed core stability through targeted bug fixes and expanded unit testing, resulting in more reliable APIs, better data consistency, and improved support for a globally distributed user base.
