Over a three-month period, contributed to the IllinoisRef/mechref repository by building and refining key front-end features for a design process platform. Developed new Astro pages to support design need identification and ideation, integrating them into a dynamic navigation system that improved workflow consistency and user onboarding. Enhanced the Design Ideas experience with richer resources and visuals, while addressing navigation blockers and broken links to ensure reliable routing. Applied skills in Astro, JavaScript, and CSS to deliver UI and information architecture improvements, including prioritized navigation for design specifications, resulting in reduced maintenance risk and more efficient cross-team collaboration on design documentation.

Oct 1, 2025Month 2025-10 — IllinoisRef/mechref delivered the Identify Need page and design process integration, implementing new Astro pages and integrating them into the design process navigation. The work defines stakeholders and engagement methods and standardizes navigation with dynamic placeholders, enabling a more consistent design-scoping workflow across teams. A cleanup effort removed obsolete identify_need pages and fixed broken navigation links, restoring reliable routing and reducing dead-end navigation. UI/text formatting on the Identify Need pages was improved for consistency, including a new BlueText component import and clearer callout labeling, enhancing readability and user guidance. These changes collectively improve user onboarding to the design process, reduce maintenance risk, and accelerate cross-team collaboration.
