Worked on the shaka-player repository to deliver targeted improvements in offline playback reliability and user experience. Developed a configurable IndexedDB timeout feature, allowing users to disable or customize the default five-second limit when opening IndexedDB, which addressed ambiguity and improved offline storage robustness. Enhanced the seek bar interface by centering and styling the time container above the seek bar, making seek interactions clearer and reducing user confusion. Emphasized traceability by tightly linking each change to specific commits and issues, supporting maintainability. Utilized JavaScript, Less, and IndexedDB, demonstrating strengths in front-end development, UI/UX refinement, and commit-driven engineering practices.
