@okekefrancis112 has applied to work on this issue as part of the Stellar Wave Program's 1st wave.

I’d like to work on this issue because it addresses a core backend concern around reliability, correctness, and scalability. I enjoy contributing to backend features that improve system behavior, data integrity, and developer experience.

I have strong experience building and maintaining backend systems using NestJS, Node.js, TypeScript, SQL/NoSQL databases, and RESTful APIs. I’ve worked on production features involving data modeling, validation, background processing, performance optimization, and debugging complex edge cases. I’m comfortable reading existing codebases, following established patterns, writing tests where appropriate, and shipping well-documented changes that integrate cleanly with frontend and infrastructure requirements.
