Identity Management System (IMS)

Key Highlights

• Developed a full-stack Identity Management System enabling users to manage multiple identity profiles across four distinct contexts: personal, professional, family, and online — each with configurable visibility settings.
• Implemented secure authentication with JWT access/refresh tokens, bcrypt password hashing, and context-based friend request workflows with fine-grained privacy controls per relationship type.
• Built RESTful APIs with Express.js and MongoDB for full CRUD operations on identity profiles, posts, and connections; integrated GNews API for dynamic personalised news content delivery per context.
• Designed a responsive Next.js frontend with TailwindCSS supporting light/dark theme, real-time notifications via Socket.io, and a unified dashboard summarising all active identities.
• Implemented role-based access control (RBAC) ensuring profile data visible to "professional" contacts differs from "family" contacts, enforced at the API layer.
• Wrote comprehensive unit and integration tests using Jest and Supertest covering authentication flows, profile CRUD, and access control boundary conditions.
