(2025-09 - 2026-02)

• Migrated state management across 7–8 core modules and nested sub-pages from browser Local-Storage to centralized Redux stores, improving state consistency across multi-step Gold Loan workflows while avoiding persistent storage of sensitive application state in the browser.
• Developed and integrated RESTful APIs using Spring Boot, implemented JWT-based authentication and role-based access control (RBAC), and collaborated on frontend-backend integration.
• Implemented role-aware navigation and protected routes for 4 user roles—Super Admin, Vendor, Tenant, and CA using JWT-derived authorization state.
• Standardized cross-time-zone datetime handling by normalizing user-local timestamps to UTC and configuring Spring Boot API responses in ISO-8601 Zulu (Z) format, enabling accurate browser-localized rendering across user time zones.
• Resolved a production date-handling issue where persisted dates rendered one day behind in frontend workflows by correcting JPA temporal mapping and backend serialization, restoring accurate date values across API round trips.
• Validated authentication and authorization workflows covering role restrictions, direct URL access, invalid inputs, token-protected routes, and REST API behavior using Postman.
