PROFILE

Ian Wesley-smith

Ian Smith contributed backend and API development to the bluesky-social/atproto repository, focusing on enhancing recommendation analytics and user personalization. Over two months, Ian implemented a recId field across suggestion API endpoints and the SuggestedUsersSkeleton, enabling unique tracking of recommendations and event submissions. This work involved updating TypeScript client types, lexicon definitions, and code generation to ensure type safety and consistent propagation of recId throughout the recommendation flow. Ian also maintained backward compatibility by reverting changes when necessary, minimizing disruption for downstream clients. The depth of work reflects careful schema alignment and readiness for future analytics, without introducing new bugs.
