PROFILE
Paolo Capriotti
Over 19 months, contributed to wireapp/wire-server by designing and delivering backend features that improved reliability, security, and scalability. Built and enhanced APIs for conversation management, authentication, and event delivery, leveraging Haskell, Python, and SQL to implement robust data handling, distributed systems integration, and protocol-level security. Addressed system stability through rigorous testing, error handling, and configuration management, including work on RabbitMQ integration, Cassandra migrations, and Kubernetes deployments. Introduced feature flags, diagnostics, and migration tooling to support safe rollouts and maintainability. The work emphasized defensive programming, clear data contracts, and operational resilience, resulting in a more stable and extensible backend platform.

Apr 1, 2026Summary for 2026-04: Focused on stabilizing MLS-Users flows in wire-app/wire-server by hardening null handling for supported protocols and updating data handling to be optional. Delivered a robust fix that prevents crashes when users have missing supported protocols, improving stability and user experience. This month also tightened data contracts and applied defensive programming practices to reduce future edge-case failures in the MLS-Users module.

Jun 1, 2025June 2025: Implemented MLS Conversation Reset Feature in wire-server to restore conversations to a valid state. Delivered an API endpoint for resetting conversations, added group ID versioning, and ensured compatibility with federated backends. As a safeguard, users on unsupported backends are kicked out when a reset occurs. This reduces data corruption risk and improves cross-system interoperability.
