PROFILE

Francesco Cinà

Worked extensively on the CashierHQ/cashier repository, delivering robust backend and frontend infrastructure for a scalable payments platform. Focused on API design, authentication, and state management, the work included implementing a CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions for Rust canisters, modernizing build and deployment processes, and introducing secure admin and permissions APIs. Refactored core modules for maintainability, enhanced logging and observability, and improved frontend reliability through TypeScript tooling and modular state stores. Leveraged Rust, TypeScript, and Svelte to ensure code quality, test coverage, and security, while also contributing to UI reliability in emilk/egui by addressing focus handling bugs and adding regression tests.

July 2025 performance summary for CashierHQ/cashier: Key features delivered: - CI Infrastructure for Rust projects: Implemented comprehensive GitHub Actions CI for Rust canisters, including code checking, building, and testing across architectures, with dependency management, caching, and tool installation (clippy, rustfmt, ic-wasm). - Canister Build Information API: Added a new endpoint to retrieve build information (package name, version, git hash) with supporting data handling and client interfaces to enable external systems to query build metadata. Major bugs fixed: - CDK API Modernization: Replaced deprecated ic_cdk::caller() with ic_cdk::api::msg_caller() and updated ensure_is_admin logic to align with current best practices. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Strengthened CI reliability and cross-arch validation, reducing integration risk; improved maintainability by removing deprecated API usage; enabled external tooling to access build metadata, supporting better observability and integration. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Rust, GitHub Actions, CI/CD for canisters, IC CDK API usage, REST-like API design, dependency management, and cross-team collaboration.
