Mean Stack Banner

This section of my ePortfolio highlights three enhanced artifacts that represent core areas of computer science: software design and engineering, algorithms and data structures, and databases.
All three artifacts originate from my CS 465 full stack project, Travlr Getaways, a MEAN stack travel booking application.
Each artifact has been improved to showcase my growth in applying industry best practices and delivering professional-quality code.

Software Design & Engineering

Upgraded the MongoDB travlr.js schema with strong typing, indexing, custom validators, and virtuals. Demonstrates my ability to design efficient, reliable, and production-ready database models.

Summary

Together, these artifacts show my ability to work across the full stack:

  • Structuring server code with modular middleware
  • Strengthening data models for integrity and performance
  • Ensuring consistent, type-safe structures between the database, back end, and front end

These improvements illustrate not only technical growth but also my readiness to apply computer science principles to real-world software projects.
