PROFILE

Max Smirnov

Over a three-month period, contributed to lichess-org/scalachess by refactoring core move-processing and node variation logic using functional programming techniques in Scala. Replaced recursive approaches with foldM and mapAccumulate, resulting in more concise, readable, and maintainable code while preserving existing functionality. These changes improved the state management pipeline and reduced the risk of regressions, supporting future development and easier onboarding. Additionally, addressed a documentation issue in scala/scala3 by correcting a broken relative permalink, ensuring accurate navigation from documentation to source code. Work demonstrated a focus on code quality, maintainability, and clear documentation, utilizing Scala and Markdown throughout.
