Over six months, contributed to the chariot-giving/chariot-openapi repository by designing and enhancing API features, focusing on robust documentation, data validation, and specification design. Delivered updates such as clarifying idempotency in grant submissions, enforcing maximum length constraints for disbursement fields, and adding the bank_created_at field to deposit objects to improve auditability. Used Markdown and YAML to maintain clear, version-controlled OpenAPI specifications, ensuring documentation accurately reflected validation logic and runtime behavior. Addressed integration pain points by refining error handling and input validation, which reduced support overhead and improved onboarding for external developers integrating with the API and related financial workflows.
