Declan Rek

Worked on the voorhoede/head-start repository, focusing on both stability and enhanced user experience. Delivered a custom Astro service worker integration using TypeScript, enabling a network-first caching strategy for HTML pages to support offline capabilities and faster repeat loads. Addressed browser compatibility by implementing a Chromium-specific navigator.connection guard in JavaScript, ensuring video blocks functioned reliably across Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. The technical approach emphasized defensive programming and targeted bug fixes, reducing runtime errors and improving cross-browser reliability. Demonstrated proficiency in front-end development, Astro integration, and service workers, establishing a foundation for more resilient and offline-first application behavior.
