Braydon Justice contributed to the WGBH-MLA/ams and samvera/hyku repositories by engineering robust data management, export, and workflow solutions. He migrated asset persistence to Valkyrie with PostgreSQL, reducing dependencies and improving query performance, and enhanced CSV ingestion pipelines to enforce data integrity. In samvera/hyku, he stabilized UI behavior and fixed controller bugs to improve user experience. Braydon implemented PBcore XML export enhancements, refined error handling in job queues, and introduced exponential backoff for push workflows. His work leveraged Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, and XML processing, demonstrating depth in backend development, data validation, and system integration across complex archival platforms.

May 2025 monthly summary for WGBH-MLA/ams: Delivered a major persistence overhaul and data integrity improvements that position the platform for scalable asset management and reliable ingestions. Key outcomes include migration to Valkyrie-based persistence with PostgreSQL, enforcement of single-value fields for instantiations, and enhanced ingestion validation and formatting. These changes reduce Fedora-specific dependencies, improve data quality, and align tests with the new architecture, enabling more robust asset handling and future feature growth. Business value: improved query performance, more predictable data entry, reduced maintenance burden, and safer ingestion pipelines.

April 2025 focused on strengthening data integrity, user control, and asset discoverability in WGBH-MLA/ams. Delivered data deletion capabilities for records (annotations and dates) with backend processing and frontend support, hardened the CSV ingestion pipeline to handle missing/empty fields and varying instantiation formats, improved the PBCore XML export to omit empty fields and streamline maintenance, and enhanced UI rendering and search capabilities for more accurate display and linking in asset views. These changes reduce manual cleanup, prevent ingestion failures, improve data quality, and accelerate data export and discovery workflows across teams.
