After 157 commits spanning 8 months, one thing became clear...
Just how non-negotiable security is. 
I'm not taking about rate limits, or protecting your secrets like API keys, or broken auth, or prevention against XSS or SQL injection, or not committing dotENV to github, or updating privacy policy if you're using any user data, or server side validation... Or anything that comes under OWASP basics. 
They have to be there in the first place. From day one. 
I refer to subtle race conditions that even an intelligent  LLM can sometimes fail to identify. A database leak. Like what happens when a database fails? How does the application  handle it? What happens to payments during that period? How to manage similar threats?
Adversaries wait for just one tiny opportunity...
P.S., I'm open to freelance contract or role opportunities. I can build fully secure backend and the frontend system and ship it. If you know of any opportunities, please say hi. Or connect me on LinkedIn : https://linkedin.com/in/wajidfarooq
