Month: 2025-01 – Scratch-www development focused on stabilizing onboarding UX and strengthening CI/CD reliability. Key features delivered: CI/CD Workflow Environment Consistency – updated GitHub Actions to the ubuntu-22.04 runner to ensure a stable, parity-driven build environment and reduce drift in CI builds (commit 4c302f42cfe7f80c22a69d78bfaeacd727e79fb9). Major bugs fixed: Become a Scratcher - Consistent navigation controls – fixed conditional rendering so next and back buttons are always visible on the Become a Scratcher screen, improving navigation experience (commit 48d2200695951a5e9a846113f152c3b4f3e847ed). Overall impact: smoother onboarding UX on a high-visibility screen and more reliable, repeatable CI pipelines, contributing to faster feedback and fewer flaky releases. Demonstrated technologies/skills: GitHub Actions workflow maintenance, Ubuntu 22.04 environment parity, UI rendering logic (conditional rendering) in a React-based web app, and emphasis on traceability through explicit commits.
