PROFILE

Paul Swartz

During September 2025, Paul Swartz focused on backend reliability for the mbta/dotcom repository, addressing two critical bugs to improve system stability. He enhanced URL handling by ensuring redirect URIs preserved spaces and by cleaning up query parameters, specifically removing _format=json to prevent broken redirects and failed API calls. Paul also strengthened configuration management by enforcing that CMS_API_BASE_URL is always treated as a string, defaulting to an empty value when necessary. Working primarily in Elixir, he expanded test coverage to verify these corrections, demonstrating depth in API development, regular expressions, and robust backend practices that reduced user-facing errors and improved maintainability.
