Over four months, contributed to the activemerchant/active_merchant repository by delivering four features focused on payment gateway integrations and internationalization. Work included expanding Orbital Gateway’s global currency support through new currency codes and exponents, implementing Unicode-aware email encoding for Ebanx to ensure API compatibility, and adding SSL email support for Elavon verify transactions to enhance security. Address handling in Nuvei integration was improved by ensuring full address data is passed for all relevant transactions. Each feature was developed with Ruby and Ruby on Rails, emphasizing API development, test-driven workflows, and robust validation to improve reliability and data integrity across gateways.
