Work History

March 2026

1 Commits • 1 Features

Mar 1, 2026

March 2026 focused on improving support intake for KittyCAD/documentation by delivering a centralized routing path for support requests. The key feature delivered was Support Request Form Routing, directing notices and AI training opt-outs to a dedicated support form to streamline triage and improve user experience. This change replaces scattered support@ references with a single form, reducing inbox noise and enabling faster, more compliant issue handling. All changes were documented and prepared for rollout in customer-facing docs.

May 2025 performance summary for KittyCAD/documentation: automated dependency maintenance and documentation quality improvements. Delivered a GitHub Actions workflow that authenticates as a GitHub App and dispatches a run-dependabot event to an external repository to trigger Dependabot updates. Enhanced Zoo Design Studio v1 docs with updated links, improved formatting, internal navigation, and clarified terminology for ML-based Text-to-CAD features and geometry engine development. No major bugs fixed this month; minor documentation fixes (link corrections and phrasing) were completed. Overall impact: reduced manual maintenance, improved security posture, better onboarding, and clearer engineering communication.
