Focus areas included refining form styling, standardizing component props, and improving accessibility for ChoiceList components. Leveraged technologies such as React, TypeScript, and CSS to implement web component icon adoption, automate testing, and streamline documentation using Storybook. Managed dependency upgrades and coordinated semantic versioning across packages, supporting stable releases and smoother downstream integration. Contributed to release governance, API cleanup, and upgrade readiness for React 19, ensuring the design system remained robust, maintainable, and easy for contributors to adopt.
