During two months contributing to ScottyLabs/cmumaps, Katherine focused on enhancing user experience and data presentation in a React and TypeScript codebase. She overhauled the login modal, refining UI/UX through improved styling, messaging, and streamlined onboarding flows. Katherine expanded the booth data model to include theme, organization type, and descriptive content, then refactored the booth display for richer, more maintainable rendering. In April, she improved event card clarity and consistency, and simplified API access by removing unnecessary authentication checks. Her work emphasized maintainable, data-driven UI development using JavaScript, CSS, and React, resulting in a more intuitive and accessible frontend experience.
