During November 2024, contributed a frontend refactor to the FIRSTIsrael/lems repository, focusing on unifying URL-based UI state management. Developed a custom useQueryParam hook in TypeScript and JavaScript to centralize the logic for reading and updating URL query parameters, specifically managing active tabs and the current award index. This approach enabled persistent UI state encoded in the URL, improving session continuity and allowing users to share specific application views. By consolidating query parameter handling within React and Next.js, the work reduced frontend complexity, enhanced maintainability, and established a more predictable navigation experience across the application’s user interface.
