Auth0

SaveGas Social Authentication System: Implemented a comprehensive social login system for the SaveGas application that supports multiple authentication providers while maintaining a seamless user experience. The challenge involved integrating Auth0's Universal Login with React components and ensuring proper token management across different user sessions. Successfully configured Google and GitHub social login providers, implemented role-based access control to differentiate between regular users and administrative access, and created a secure authentication flow that handles both new user registration and returning user login scenarios.

Secure API Route Protection: Developed a robust API protection system using Auth0's token verification to secure backend endpoints and ensure only authenticated users can access protected resources. The challenge involved implementing middleware that validates JWT tokens, handles token refresh scenarios, and provides appropriate error responses for unauthorized access attempts. Successfully created a security layer that protects sensitive application data while maintaining optimal performance and user experience.

Role-Based Feature Access Control: Architected a sophisticated role-based access control system that dynamically shows or hides application features based on user permissions and roles defined in Auth0. The implementation required creating custom React components that check user roles and permissions before rendering protected content, ensuring that users only see functionality appropriate to their access level while maintaining a clean and intuitive user interface.
