Worked on the Aryakoste/mattermost repository over four months, delivering a series of accessibility and UI enhancements across core components. Focused on improving screen reader compatibility, keyboard navigation, and semantic HTML structure, the work included upgrading ARIA attributes, refactoring UI elements like the emoji picker, and modernizing theme selection interfaces. Leveraged React, TypeScript, and CSS to implement features such as live regions, accessible naming, and improved focus management. Addressed both feature development and bug fixes, ensuring test reliability through Cypress and Playwright. These efforts strengthened accessibility compliance, reduced DOM clutter, and improved usability for assistive technology users throughout the application.
