Worked on the Skatteetaten/api-dokumentasjon repository, focusing on enhancing API documentation and streamlining developer experience for tax-free payments and file upload endpoints. Over five months, addressed documentation accuracy by correcting data types, updating endpoint URLs, and removing outdated or ambiguous information. Improved build stability and reproducibility through dependency and package management, using Markdown and YAML for clear, maintainable documentation. Applied API design principles to simplify workflows, such as eliminating unnecessary status endpoints, and ensured changes were traceable through disciplined Git practices. The work reduced integration errors, improved onboarding for new developers, and maintained alignment between documentation and backend API contracts.
