Joey Sabatini developed and maintained core billing, subscription, and pricing infrastructure for the flowglad/flowglad repository, delivering over 60 features and 24 bug fixes in five months. He engineered robust APIs and CLI tooling using TypeScript, Node.js, and PostgreSQL, enabling real-time subscription adjustments, resource-based pricing, and automated billing workflows. His work included implementing granular proration logic, secure authentication flows, and scalable notification systems, all backed by comprehensive test coverage and documentation. By integrating Stripe for payment processing and Drizzle ORM for database migrations, Joey improved billing accuracy, reduced operational risk, and enhanced developer experience through modular, maintainable backend and frontend code.

January 2026 (2026-01) monthly summary for Flowglad: - Key features delivered: - Adjustment Notifications wiring implemented: immediate notifications for downgrades and post-payment notifications for upgrades, with idempotent customer and organization notifications keyed by subscriptionId + effectiveDate. - Auto timing enhancements in adjust subscription API with priceSlug, terse items, and auto timing and timing metadata in responses. - Added adjustSubscription SDK method with terse positional API, including priceId/slug resolution and auto-resolve of subscriptionId when customer has a single active subscription. - GP-53: Resource-based pricing model groundwork — Resource feature type support in setup/schema, resource creation and export, diffing and update handling, with extensive tests and parallelized id mappings. - Better Auth integration and CLI flows: exposing Flowglad billing endpoints through Better Auth, plus CLI login/logout flows and device authorization support. - Major bugs fixed: - Accounted for refunded amounts in invoice paid status; net payments now reflect refunds. - Prevented Stripe tax reversal from running during idempotent refund recovery; reversals occur only for new refunds and use deterministic references. - Always show tax line for MOR checkouts (show dash when zero) to improve tax visibility and accuracy. - Get customer API now filters archived customers by default to avoid API leakage into archived data. - Fixed billing period dates for default free plan subscriptions to start now rather than in the future, enabling migrations and archivals. - Overall impact and accomplishments: - Significantly improved billing accuracy, upgrade/downgrade timing correctness, and revenue recognition through better proration and tax handling. - Accelerated time-to-market for resource-based billing with modular pricing-model changes and robust tests; improved API stability and developer experience via SDK improvements and better authentication integration. - Strengthened governance and dev-experience with enhanced docs, playgrounds, and CLI tooling. - Technologies/skills demonstrated: - TypeScript/Node, Prisma/Drizzle migrations, Stripe integration (MOR tax, refunds), Row-Level Security tests, Better Auth integration, SDK design, tRPC/open API alignment, and CI/test coverage improvements.

Month: 2025-10 – Focused on correctness of billing header display and test coverage for the flowglad/flowglad project. Delivered a fix for the Billing Header: Correct Subscription Interval Display, ensuring the interval shown (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly) aligns with purchase data, with a fallback to price data. Corrected pluralization for 'daily' and added unit tests covering multiple scenarios. This work improves billing accuracy, reduces customer confusion, and lowers support tickets.
