PROFILE

Matthew Downey

Worked on the dydxprotocol/v4-documentation repository to enhance developer experience and streamline onboarding by updating and refining API integration documentation. Focused on aligning technical content with the latest dYdX v4 protocol changes, this work included clarifying rate limit querying methods, updating gRPC streaming documentation, and improving installation instructions and protobuf definitions. Leveraged Markdown, Python, and TypeScript to modernize documentation, replacing image-based trading fee tables with accessible markdown tables and introducing a more prominent fee tiers page. These updates improved clarity, reduced onboarding friction, and ensured that documentation accurately reflected current protocol behavior for developers integrating with the platform.
