PROFILE

Julien H

Worked on the ssvlabs/ssv repository, delivering backend features and API enhancements focused on validator visibility, exporter reliability, and maintainability. Over eight months, implemented real-time WebSocket streams, modularized API handlers, and improved error handling to support robust operational decision-making. Leveraged Go and TypeScript to modernize the codebase, introducing caching strategies, persistent data models, and OpenAPI integration for better client compatibility. Prioritized observability and code quality through enhanced logging, CI/CD improvements, and comprehensive testing. Addressed scalability by decoupling core processing from HTTP handlers and optimizing memory usage, resulting in a more maintainable, testable, and scalable backend for distributed systems.
