PROFILE

Stuart Said

Worked on backend and API enhancements across the backstage/backstage and backstage/community-plugins repositories, focusing on data integrity and system reliability. Addressed a search facet bug by ensuring entity facet counts reflect only distinct entity IDs, adding regression tests in JavaScript and SQL to prevent future issues and improve user trust in search results. Upgraded the MCP-Chat backend to use @google/genai, implementing per-request configuration isolation to prevent data leakage and updating dependencies for React 18 compatibility. Demonstrated strengths in backend development, database management, and testing, delivering well-scoped changes that improved both feature robustness and continuous integration stability.
