PROFILE

Chris Mccluskey

Worked on the woocommerce/sift-for-woocommerce repository, delivering payment data standardization, gateway integration, and enhanced fraud detection for WooCommerce merchants. Focused on modularizing payment gateway logic, introducing abstractions for easier extensibility, and supporting both Stripe and WooPayments. Improved data extraction and event handling for Sift, including customer payment method tracking and PayPal Commerce Platform chargeback reporting. Addressed plugin naming consistency and installation flow, while expanding unit test coverage to reduce regression risk. Used PHP and Shell scripting to refactor backend code, implement defensive data access patterns, and ensure reliable integration with multiple payment gateways, ultimately improving maintainability and risk scoring accuracy.
