Led the transition of Scaladoc comments from wikidoc to Markdown, updating the build configuration and aligning test suites to ensure stability. Utilized Scala, code style best practices, and software testing to deliver clearer, more professional documentation, reducing onboarding time and future maintenance effort while supporting a more accessible and trustworthy API surface.
