He also migrated components like BpkFieldset and BpkLink to TypeScript, strengthening type safety and maintainability. Additionally, he upgraded dependencies and tooling, including Storybook and ESLint, to reduce technical debt. His work resulted in a more stable design system and smoother, more responsive UI components for users.
