Over a two-month period, Jacoba contributed to apache/logging-log4j2 by migrating the test suite from JUnit 4 to JUnit 5, updating assertions and annotations to ensure compatibility with the newer framework. This refactoring improved test reliability and maintainability, supporting future API migrations and continuous integration workflows. In apache/couchdb, Jacoba delivered an inclusive terminology update in the cluster setup documentation, replacing legacy terms to align with modern standards and improve onboarding clarity. Working primarily with Java and reStructuredText, Jacoba demonstrated strengths in API migration, testing, and documentation, focusing on foundational improvements rather than bug fixes or feature expansion during this period.

In July 2025, delivered an inclusive terminology update for the Apache CouchDB cluster setup documentation, replacing 'master' with 'primary' to align with inclusive language standards. The change was implemented as a docs-only commit (89b0a7ed495d6dd801806a099fe238749ed006f7) with message 'chore(docs): avoid master wording at setup cluster'. There were no code changes or major bugs fixed this month. Impact includes clearer setup guides, improved onboarding for new contributors, and alignment with inclusive-language policy across the repository. Demonstrated skills in documentation discipline, Git-based change management, and cross-team collaboration; this work lays the groundwork for future documentation standardization and faster contributor onboarding.
