Overall

Architecture documentation set, security audit, and UI/UX refinement.

Tasks Done

  • Architecture Documentation Set: Compiled comprehensive design specification documents covering system topology, component responsibilities, data flows, and API contract schemas.
  • Security Audit: Audited system implementation for vulnerabilities—identifying CORS origins, JWT claim verification, IAM least-privilege scoping, and Amazon S3 Block Public Access policies.
  • UI/UX Refinement: Redesigned the Chrome Extension floating editor modal and Study web application dashboard for cleaner responsiveness and seamless user feedback states.
  • Deployment Checklist: Prepared pre-flight verification checklist for the initial AWS cloud stack deployment.

Results Achieved

  • Complete Architecture Suite: Published 11 detailed design and API contract documents.
  • Audit Findings: Identified 8 key technical blockers (e.g., exact CORS origin mapping) prior to spending cloud funds.
  • Polished Interface: Upgraded extension and study app visual design and responsive layouts.
