Corey Archer developed and enhanced UI component test harnesses and theming systems for the blackbaud/skyux and blackbaud/skyux-icons repositories, focusing on maintainable, scalable front-end architecture. Over nine months, Corey delivered features such as unified testing harnesses for Angular components, token-based theming with SCSS and CSS custom properties, and modular icon library updates. His work included refactoring test infrastructure, improving mobile usability, and standardizing component styling to reduce regression risk and accelerate QA cycles. By integrating TypeScript and modern build tools, Corey ensured robust validation, reliable test coverage, and consistent UI theming, resulting in a more accessible and maintainable codebase.

June 2025: Focused on UI theming, token-based styling, and foundational filtering capabilities to improve consistency, accessibility, and business value across SkyUX and icons. Key deliveries include a bug fix for timepicker/file attachment separator borders; a tabs styling refresh using component tokens; modern theme category color theming via CSS custom properties; unified selected-state theming across form controls; typography tokenization for the modern theme; and groundwork for a filter bar with a modal workflow. In skyux-icons, added the person-money Fluent icon. Technologies leveraged include SCSS/token-based styling, CSS custom properties, and library/project architectural patterns. Business impact includes a more consistent and accessible modern UI, easier theming at scale, and enhanced dynamic filtering and icon coverage to support financial-user scenarios.

February 2025 highlights for blackbaud/skyux: Delivered Sky Error Component Testing Harness Enhancements, introducing SkyErrorHarness, SkyErrorActionHarness, and SkyErrorImageHarness to boost testability and coverage for error UI. Added data-sky-id attributes to error types in the demo component to support targeted tests. Established comprehensive unit tests for SkyErrorHarness, expanding coverage of error states and interactions. Refactored getPopoverContent across harnesses to consistently return string or undefined, removing the TemplateRef return type to improve type safety and simplify usage. These changes, along with the commits 4343e0ab40e4cf9ddc694bceac49ba8af7dea1ef and 9e200ef7b425433014c1c58be7094f91ed29195f, deliver higher test reliability, easier maintenance, and faster feedback cycles, driving quality and confidence in Sky UX error UI.
