During a two-month period, Jordan Ang developed and enhanced authentication flows and user interface components for the aws/amazon-q-eclipse repository. He overhauled the Amazon Q plugin’s UI, introducing theme switching, a new chat toolbar, and a right-side panel layout, while streamlining onboarding by making login the default entry point and improving authentication state handling. Jordan refactored token management with encrypted updates and centralized authentication lifecycle logic, reducing edge-case interruptions. His work leveraged Java and JavaScript, focusing on Eclipse plugin development, UI/UX, and security. These changes improved maintainability, reliability, and user experience, demonstrating depth in both backend integration and frontend design.
