During January 2025, Amanda Machado contributed to the hackforla/VRMS repository by modernizing the Upcoming Event component’s user interface. She replaced standard HTML elements with Material-UI components, ensuring consistent theming and improved alignment with the project’s design system. Using React and JavaScript, Amanda enhanced the component’s readability by refining layout details, such as adding a 12pt left margin to event dates and locations. She also improved code maintainability by clearly annotating unused abstractions in Form.jsx, reducing future refactor risk. Her work focused on UI consistency, maintainable code structure, and smoother onboarding for future developers, reflecting thoughtful front-end engineering practices.
