and leading the reimplementation of the frontend.</p>
<p>The new APIs for storing curricular data and user profiles
needed to be secure, easy to use, well tested, well documented,
scalable and reliable. We ensured that security was implemeted in
the back end first. We used cognito tokens and JWT claims to scope
user access at the API level on a per user basis. We adopted a
search query language for searching a curricular data that ensured
the API could be easily expanded and would be consistant across
endpoints. We implemented the API on AWS serverless lambdas for
user access by role. We designed api search queries for the a
curricular data that ensured the API could be easily expanded and
would be consistant across endpoints, while still being powerful
enought to do all the searching/filtering that would be needed in
the frontend. We implemented the API on AWS serverless lambdas for
scalability and reliability and used typescript on serverless.js
for ease of development.</p>
<p>The new frontend was developed with react, written in typescript
and served via cloudfront and s3 for scalabilty, reliability and
