PROFILE
Erica Titkemeyer
Over seven months, contributed to the WGBH-MLA/ams repository by building and enhancing backend systems for archival asset management, focusing on ingestion pipelines, metadata quality, and export fidelity. Delivered features such as dynamic annotation handling, contributor metadata mapping, and user notification systems, using Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, and Docker. Improved ingestion reliability through configuration-driven validation and robust data mapping, while refining batch ingest workflows with NGINX configuration and client-side validation in HTML. Collaborated across teams to align technical solutions with cataloger feedback, supporting more flexible data governance and streamlined CI processes, and consistently applied test-driven development to ensure code quality.

May 1, 2026May 2026 monthly summary for WGBH-MLA/ams: Delivered File Upload Handling and Validation Enhancement. Updated NGINX annotations to increase proxy body size and read/write timeouts to support large file ingests; implemented client-side file size validation in batch ingest forms to improve UX and prevent errors. Also refined alert messaging and resubmission flow without page refresh to reduce user friction. Result: fewer ingestion failures due to payload limits, improved batch ingest reliability, and better developer-ops collaboration for deployment configurations. Technologies demonstrated include NGINX/Kubernetes configuration, frontend validation, and batch ingest UX improvements. Commit references: 47d9637dbda01f5cb23ba679f7449aa69ffc44c9.
