Overview
Meridian is the connective tissue between internal services — one typed boundary that the whole org builds against.
What I built
- A gateway with end-to-end type safety from database to client.
- Distributed tracing via OpenTelemetry to make cross-service latency visible.
- A migration toolkit that let teams move off the old REST endpoints incrementally.
Outcome
Integration bugs dropped sharply once the client/server contract became compiler-enforced, and onboarding to the API took an afternoon instead of a week.
