Andrea Barbasso developed a dynamic form reordering feature focused on keyboard accessibility for the DSpace/dspace-angular repository. Leveraging Angular, TypeScript, and SCSS, Andrea implemented comprehensive keyboard navigation for dynamic forms, supporting arrow keys, Enter, Space, Tab, and Escape to facilitate intuitive reordering of form elements. The solution included ARIA live region updates to announce changes, aligning with WCAG accessibility standards and improving usability for power users. Delivered through two targeted commits, the work demonstrated depth in accessibility engineering and component development, with thorough unit and end-to-end testing ensuring robust, maintainable code that reduces user friction and support overhead.
