• Started expanding the lookup experience beyond the existing Geolocation, System Context and Network sections by working on a complete WHOIS lookup system
• Researched how WHOIS data is structured and what kind of information can be extracted from IP registration records
• Explored and tested multiple APIs for retrieving WHOIS information and worked through the deployment and integration requirements
• Ran into a few CORS-related issues while testing the external services, so I spent some time debugging the requests and figuring out a reliable way to access the data from the frontend
• Eventually deployed my own API layer to handle the WHOIS requests and integrated that service into the application
• Started successfully retrieving WHOIS information for the searched IP addresses, including registration and network-related details
• Began designing the new WHOIS section so the returned information can be presented in a clean and readable way instead of dumping the raw API response
• Added the initial UI structure and data components for organizing the different WHOIS fields and making the information easier to understand
• Tested the complete flow from IP lookup - WHOIS API - processed response - formatted UI and fixed a few issues along the way

there’s still more i want to do with the WHOIS section, especially around organizing and explaining some of the returned fields, but the core lookup and integration are now working properly and the next step is mostly about polishing the experience.
