Worked on the VKCOM/statshouse repository to optimize parameter merging and reuse for dashboard plots using TypeScript and front end development skills. Refactored the mergeParams function to detect unchanged plots, groups, and variables, enabling their reuse and reducing redundant processing. Introduced a utility for key-set equality checks, which streamlined merge decisions and improved overall efficiency. These changes minimized unnecessary re-processing and re-rendering, resulting in enhanced dashboard responsiveness and better resource utilization. The work focused on hardening the mergeParams behavior, ensuring more reliable updates and smoother user interactions within the dashboard, and was delivered as a feature update during January 2026.
