PROFILE
Joris Leker
Worked on the kiesraad/abacus repository to deliver six user-facing documentation and UI/UX improvements over six months, focusing on usability and clarity in the data-entry workflow. Leveraged Markdown for technical writing, usability testing analysis, and user feedback analysis to document observed issues, propose actionable improvements, and standardize validation and error messaging. Updated terminology and formatting to align with evolving workflows and design assets, ensuring documentation remained clear and accessible for both developers and stakeholders. Integrated Figma design references into project documentation to reduce ambiguity in UI implementation, supporting maintainable onboarding and consistent user experience across the Abacus system’s evolving requirements.
