Haitao Dan developed and maintained the KodyPay/kp-protocols-clientsdk, delivering a robust suite of payment, order, and pre-authorization APIs over nine months. He designed and refactored Protocol Buffers specifications to support end-to-end workflows for payments, refunds, inventory, and tokenized card management, emphasizing data model clarity and backward compatibility. Leveraging gRPC, YAML, and Markdown, Haitao introduced streaming endpoints, enhanced error handling, and improved release governance through manual workflows and documentation. His work reduced integration complexity, improved developer onboarding, and enabled scalable, real-time payment operations, demonstrating depth in API design, CI/CD automation, and cross-team collaboration for maintainable SDK evolution.

In 2025-08, delivered the Pre-Authorization Protocol for Opera integration in the KodyPay kp-protocols-clientsdk. This work introduces a Protocol Buffers specification for prere-authorization operations, enables streaming PreAuthorize responses, and standardizes error handling and payment methods to align with existing pay/token protocols, improving consistency and maintainability. The effort reduces integration complexity for Opera onboarding and sets a foundation for scalable, streaming-based authorization flows. Major bugs fixed this month were not reported for this feature; the focus was on feature delivery and refinement.

June 2025 focused on advancing tokenized payments and API clarity in the KodyPay client SDK. Delivered end-to-end card token management capabilities, enabling creation, retrieval, listing, deletion, and payments via tokens, with a new delete-token endpoint and support for optional shopper references during payment initiation. Improved resiliency and clarity in the data model by adding a default UNSPECIFIED value for RecurringProcessingModel in ecom.proto and clarifying token_id documentation. These changes reduce merchant integration effort, decrease risk of undefined states, and improve developer experience. The work is backed by targeted commits and aligns with security and scalability goals.
