PROFILE

Derek Petersen

Worked on the togethercomputer/openapi repository to enhance API schema design for audio and video media input. Focused on refining the Audio Transcription API by simplifying the AudioTranscriptionRequest file parameter, moving from a discriminator-based approach to direct string formats for binary and URI inputs, which improved clarity and client usability. Later, delivered video generation API enhancements that expanded support for multiple media inputs and configurable output specifications while maintaining backward compatibility. Utilized YAML and OpenAPI Specification to implement these changes, emphasizing maintainable schema design and seamless client integration. The work demonstrated depth in API development and thoughtful specification design.
