Work History

March 2026

1 Commits

Mar 1, 2026

March 2026: Focused on stabilizing Vertex AI integration in masslight/ottehr. No new features were delivered this month; the primary change was reverting a retry logic added for fetch errors in the invokeChatbotVertexAI path. The rollback reduces error-path complexity and mitigates the risk of retry storms, preserving production stability while laying groundwork for a safer, future retry strategy. Commit 25c8955ae67f744bfbbee0b3c0caa57f656f2d29 documents the revert and rationale.

November 2025: Delivered reliability and responsiveness upgrades for the chatbot in masslight/ottehr. Implemented a robust retry strategy around Vertex AI invocation and introduced a timeout for the ChatAnthropic client, plus refinements to the internal AI utilities. These changes reduce latency, improve uptime, and enable non-blocking handling of transient failures, accelerating user-facing responses in production.
