Worked on the google/blockly-keyboard-experimentation repository to implement a robust disposal lifecycle for keyboard navigation, enabling users to exit keyboard navigation mode cleanly and restoring the workspace to its original state. The approach involved refactoring event listeners and state management logic in TypeScript and JavaScript to support proper disposal, which reduced memory usage and improved maintainability. Special attention was given to accessibility by ensuring DOM attributes like tabindex were only removed if not originally present, preventing unintended side effects. This work focused on API design, event handling, and front-end development, resulting in a safer and more maintainable keyboard navigation experience.
