Alexander Karan Security: The simple things you miss

Security is a mindset and should not be left just to the security experts. The little mistakes in your code or laziness in your approach can lead to some significant issues if someone on the outside finds them. Using a Node, Express and MongoDB app as an example let me show you some easy mistakes to avoid when building a full-fledged application.

As this is a broad topic, I will try to cover some use cases from each area of development, so it is relevant for everyone. I will include the following areas: - Front-end with React - Restful API with Express and NodeJS - Database with MongoDB - Cloud Deploy with AWS

About Alexander

Over the last ten years, I have built systems from its infancy as well as salvaged the code of others to create something worthwhile. Systems architecture is where my strengths lay, and I have utilised these skills countless times to ensure my team, and I are heading in the right direction.

Throughout my career, I have overseen a variety of teams; from design, web to native mobile app developers. I worked side by side with my team members creating apps and web applications for startups and businesses, having scaled more than 20 projects I have learnt the do's and dont's of project architecture, scaling and team development.

I am currently the CTO at ClimateClever working hard to help schools and communities to reduce their carbon footprint, and indirectly their bills. My current tech stack is Node.js, Express.js, Mongo.DB, AWS and React.
