Worked on the zskarte/zskarte repository, delivering 13 features and resolving 22 bugs over two months. Focused on enhancing journal workflows, refining UI/UX, and improving localization, the work included expanding the symbol library, consolidating icons, and overhauling button and sidebar styles for a more cohesive interface. Leveraged Angular, TypeScript, and SCSS to componentize filters, merge menus, and streamline map interactions. Upgraded Strapi for backend stability and addressed translation mismatches to support internationalization. Improvements to journal entry creation, structure, and navigation reduced user friction, while broad bug fixes and test stabilization increased reliability and maintainability across the application.
