PROFILE
Michael Losev
Worked on the chariot-giving/chariot-openapi repository, delivering six new API features over five months focused on nonprofit data management, disbursement processing, and verification workflows. Implemented endpoints for uploading nonprofit addresses and contacts, introduced versioned APIs for disbursement and donation tracking, and added schema enhancements such as recipient_name and payment_status fields to improve clarity and data quality. Leveraged Node.js, JavaScript, and YAML for backend development, OpenAPI specification, and documentation updates. Prioritized backward-compatible schema evolution, clear technical writing, and robust API design, enabling streamlined client integration, improved onboarding, and enhanced reporting for grantmakers and donors without reported bug fixes.
