PROFILE
David Li
David contributed to the dydxprotocol/v4-chain repository, building and optimizing backend features that enhanced financial data accuracy and API usability. He developed PostgreSQL-backed pipelines for profit and loss (PnL) calculations, including recursive data aggregation and daily reporting endpoints, and implemented per-market fee discounts for CLOB pairs using Protocol Buffers and Cosmos SDK. His work included database migrations, model design, and test-driven development in TypeScript and Go, with a focus on robust data modeling and query optimization. By refining API endpoints and fixing calculation bugs, David improved data reliability and enabled faster, more granular analytics for trading and risk management teams.

2 Commits • 2 Features
Oct 1, 2025Month: 2025-10 — Delivered key features and performance improvements for dydxprotocol/v4-chain. Key feature deliveries include per-market fee discounts for CLOB pairs, implemented with proto definitions, keeper logic, and message handlers, and integrated active discounts into the perpetual fee calculation. PNL endpoints were significantly optimized with hourly/daily aggregation, improved pagination and filtering, and expanded test coverage. No major bugs fixed this month. Overall impact: enhanced trader value through discount-driven fee economics and faster, more reliable PNL analytics, supporting higher throughput and better decision-making. Technologies demonstrated: proto definitions, keeper logic, message handlers, on-chain/off-chain integration, database query optimization, data aggregation, pagination, and test automation.

Sep 1, 2025Month: 2025-09 — dydxprotocol/v4-chain. This period delivered substantial enhancements to PnL data availability, along with targeted bug fixes that improve data integrity and reliability for business decisions. Key features delivered: - PNL Data Pipeline and Retrieval: Implement recursive PNL computation and expose PNL data via API endpoints. Added a new PnL calculation job and API for subaccounts and aggregated data with daily aggregation option. This enables near-real-time PnL visibility across subaccounts and consolidated views for executives and risk teams. Major bugs fixed: - PNL Calculation Bug Fix: Fixed incorrect PnL calculation in update script, refined net transfers and trade cash flows, correctly handled null subaccount IDs and trading fees, and updated tests. This improves data accuracy and reliability of PnL reporting. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Provides accurate, timely PnL data for subaccounts and aggregated views, enabling better financial reporting, reconciliation, and decision-making. Improves risk management and operational efficiency by reducing data discrepancies. Daily aggregation supports near real-time analytics. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Recursive data processing and data pipeline orchestration - API design and exposure for subaccounts and aggregated data - Batch job creation and scheduling - Edge-case handling (null IDs) and test-driven validation - Daily aggregation architecture and data modeling for PnL Top business value: - Faster, more accurate PnL insights drive informed decisions, reduce reconciliation time, and improve risk controls across the organization.
