During a four-month period, Chien worked on the facebook/react-native and githubnext/discovery-agent__facebook__react-native repositories, focusing on build stability, dependency modernization, and test reliability. He migrated JavaScriptCore dependencies to Maven Central, enabling prefab packaging and simplifying Android build management with Gradle. Chien also enhanced engine flexibility by decoupling JavaScriptCore on iOS and supporting custom JSRuntimeFactory integration on Android, using C++ and Objective-C. To improve CI reliability, he stabilized Jest tests for React Native’s useColorScheme hook. Additionally, he resolved iOS build failures in React-jsitooling by addressing non-modular header exposure, demonstrating depth in cross-platform mobile development and build system configuration.

In March 2025, delivered a critical build-stability improvement for React-jsitooling in facebook/react-native by addressing an iOS-specific header exposure issue when using use_frameworks. The fix prevents exporting a non-modular header in the umbrella header, reducing build failures and improving reliability for projects relying on React-jsitooling.

Month: 2024-11 — Focused on stabilizing test reliability for githubnext/discovery-agent__facebook__react-native by addressing Jest test flakiness around the React Native useColorScheme hook and Appearance.js. Implemented a mock to force useColorScheme to 'light' in tests, added coverage to verify default mocked behavior, and ensured proper mocking to prevent flaky failures. This work was delivered via two commits that fix a lazy import error and introduce useColorScheme mock tests, reducing CI noise and increasing confidence in UI theming behavior across platforms.
