Alp worked on the basecamp/fizzy repository, delivering four backend features over two months focused on API flexibility, performance, and data consistency. Using Ruby and Ruby on Rails, Alp enhanced the Notifications API to support flexible retrieval of read and unread notifications, optimized cache behavior, and introduced deterministic ordering for consistent client experiences. Alp also extended the Card Data Model with a has_attachments attribute, enabling efficient attachment checks, and improved the Boards API with access-controlled listings and pagination. The work demonstrated skills in API design, query optimization, and JSON shaping, resulting in faster responses and a more scalable, maintainable backend.
February 2026 — Focused API improvements in basecamp/fizzy to boost response times, data consistency, and UX for boards and notifications. Delivered two feature sets with performance-oriented changes, stabilized tests, and improved developer experience through deterministic ordering and preload of associated data. Business value realized: faster notifications responses, consistent ordering across clients, easier paging and access control for boards, and scalable API surface.
