OpenPIM is a collaborative product information management system (PIM)
designed for manufacturers, retailers, and developers to create,
structure, and share rich product data. Version 2 marks a major
architectural evolution focused on long-term scalability,
collaborative versioning, and AI-powered tooling.
This is an active, in-progress build. I’m a core contributor to V2 and
currently leading backend development and upcoming frontend
implementation.
-
API Development: Architecting and implementing the
core V2 GraphQL API, including schema design, entity validation
logic, and content versioning.
-
Frontend Lead: Planning and building the new
OpenPIM Web UI, which will serve as the primary client for V2 — my
main focus going forward.
New Features in V2 (Built or Specced):
-
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.

your skill set — developer or not — all kinds of contributions are
