Worked on the storybookjs/storybook repository over three months, delivering eight features and resolving four bugs focused on front end development. Built a unified theme color system and token-based theming to ensure consistent light and dark modes, while refining UI components for accessibility and onboarding clarity. Enhanced the Tree component’s stability and improved accessibility by aligning with WCAG contrast standards. Overhauled the addon UI, introduced a responsive CollectionGrid, and polished details screens for better usability and review flow. Used JavaScript, TypeScript, React, and styled-components to improve code safety, visual consistency, and accessibility, resulting in a more reliable and maintainable UI.
