In 2025-08, delivered Accessibility Checker Enhancements for instructure/canvas-lms. Consolidated improvements include an asynchronous scans API, improved UI state visualization, a streamlined remediation workflow, and summary data fetching for charts. This work updated the API surface and data flows to support dashboards and compliance tracking: transitioned to scans (async) API, improved ScanStateCell status displays, migrated to the new issue remediation API endpoint, and integrated the issues summary API with differentiated fetching. Impact: faster, more reliable accessibility scanning and remediation, improved visibility of accessibility issues via dashboards for product and QA teams, and stronger alignment with accessibility compliance goals. Technologies/skills demonstrated: React UI improvements, API integration and migration, asynchronous processing, data aggregation for dashboards, and remediation workflow orchestration.
