Individual requirements

Currently the service fails to convert epoch to datetime thus it returns invalid dates.

This is causing issues on the frontend.

 

Example:

Check the response of the following API call:

http://api.topcoder-dev.com/v3/members/thomaskranitsas

 

You’ll notice that the dates are invalid.

 

You need to ensure all dates are properly converted to datetime across the member service.

 

Feel free to ask any questions on the challenge forum!
