May 2025 — Hashicorp Boundary UI: UI modernization to HashiCorp Design System (HDS) and retirement of Rose UI components across addons, ui/admin, and ui/desktop. Replaced legacy Rose components with HDS equivalents and updated form elements for role grants, button styling, and label/field styling to achieve design-system consistency, accessibility improvements, and maintainability benefits. This migration reduces design debt and establishes a scalable path for future HDS-driven enhancements across the boundary-ui repo.

April 2025: Key quality and UI delivery improvements for boundary-ui. Delivered two focused enhancements: (1) test infrastructure: alias update tests refactored to use a common selectors module, increasing robustness and reflecting UI structure; (2) UI standardization: replaced Rose::Button with Hds::Button across templates to enforce design-system consistency. No major bugs fixed this month; focused on stabilizing tests and UI consistency to reduce regression risk. Impact: higher test reliability, faster feedback, and consistent user experience across boundary-ui. Technologies/skills: test automation, refactoring, design-system migration, component standardization, maintainable selectors.
