K. Kelly contributed to the NYPL/digital-collections repository by refining user interface elements and improving documentation clarity over a three-month period. They focused on front end development using React, JavaScript, and TypeScript, implementing a UI cleanup that removed the Whole Image download option from the Universal Viewer to streamline the interface and reduce user confusion. Kelly also addressed UI text consistency by correcting filter button grammar and updated Playwright tests to ensure reliability. Their work included precise bug fixes and changelog updates, demonstrating attention to both user experience and codebase maintainability, with a focus on regression-safe changes and clear communication across teams.

In August 2025, delivered UI cleanup and reliability improvements in the NYPL/digital-collections Universal Viewer. Removed the Whole Image download option to simplify the interface and align with current usage patterns; updated the changelog to reflect the change. Fixed a bug to hide only the 'whole image' related elements by removing an unnecessary isCurrentView check, improving reliability and user experience. Impact includes reduced UI clutter, clearer product expectations, and fewer support questions related to downloading whole images. Demonstrated frontend JavaScript/DOM manipulation, UI/UX alignment, changelog/documentation rigor, and regression-safe fixes for the Universal Viewer.
