Almcahm contributed to the iptv-org/epg and iptv-org/database repositories by engineering robust solutions for electronic program guide data integration and channel catalog expansion. Over two months, he improved data reliability by refining API integration, HTTP headers management, and XML parsing, addressing frequent upstream changes in EPG sources. Using JavaScript and Node.js, he implemented granular error handling, normalized XMLTV IDs, and automated channel lineup updates, ensuring accurate and up-to-date schedules. His work included data cleaning, transformation, and validation across multiple providers, resulting in higher data quality and smoother ingestion pipelines. The depth of his contributions enhanced both data accuracy and maintainability.
