Harpal Singh contributed to the Sage/carbon repository by expanding and refining its design system, focusing on iconography and typography to improve UI consistency and developer efficiency. Over four months, he delivered multiple feature upgrades, including the addition and update of over twenty icons and the implementation of scalable typography tokens. Using JavaScript, TypeScript, and CSS-in-JS, Harpal ensured changes were traceable and aligned with design-system guidelines, supporting maintainable and accessible interfaces. His work reduced design debt, accelerated UI development, and established a robust foundation for future enhancements, demonstrating depth in component library development and front-end engineering best practices.

In August 2025, Sage/carbon delivered a targeted upgrade to the UI iconography within the Carbon Design System, focusing on consistency and developer productivity. The work upgraded the icon set across components, replacing 'square_dot' with 'placeholder' and adding five new icons: 'chevron_first', 'chevron_last', 'drag_hover', 'hierarchy', and 'underline'. This reduces UI debt, accelerates UI implementation, and strengthens the visual language across products. No major bugs were documented for this period; the focus was design-system enhancement and incremental value delivery.
