John Starich

Worked on the go-vikunja/vikunja repository to modernize backend build, testing, and code quality processes using Go and DevOps best practices. Delivered foundational improvements to test infrastructure by removing environment dependencies, embedding test fixtures, and enhancing error handling, which streamlined onboarding and reduced flaky tests. Refactored build automation by consolidating tooling, enabling golangci-lint integration, and improving error propagation for more reliable CI pipelines. Updated code formatting and documentation to align with Go idioms, including octal literal syntax and godoc standards. These changes improved maintainability, accelerated feedback loops, and provided a more robust, developer-friendly environment for ongoing backend development.
