OpenPIM is an open-source product information management system that
supports manufacturers, retailers, and developers in collaboratively
managing rich product data. With Version 2, the platform has undergone
a significant architectural overhaul to support long-term scalability,
versioned data, and AI-powered workflows.
This is a live, ongoing project that I am actively contributing to:
-
API Development (Current): Core contributor to V2 of the API,
working on architecture, GraphQL design, entity validation logic,
and versioning mechanisms.
-
Solo Frontend Developer (Upcoming): I’ll be leading the
design and development of the new OpenPIM Web UI, built on top of
the V2 API—my primary side project for the foreseeable future.
Key features I’ve helped deliver or spec for V2 include:
-
Versioning Support: Introduced hashed version tracking for
product states, enabling teams to persist, reference, and compare
historical records.
-
AI Assist Tools: Added endpoints and backend logic for
AI-assisted content verification and unstructured-to-structured
product data transformation.
-
Rate Limiting: Rebuilt the rate-limiting strategy for
high-volume users with support for both burst and long-term usage
quotas.
-
Community Moderation Improvements: Improved voting and
resolving workflows for “current release” versions to ensure more
transparent product governance.
This project highlights my ability to work across backend and frontend
systems, define scalable architecture, and build real-world SaaS tools
with strong attention to performance and maintainability.
