Worked on CDCgov/cdc-open-viz to address UI stability in the EditorPanel by resolving inconsistent category value ordering during filtering. Introduced a dedicated getCategoryValuesOrder utility, which reliably retrieves and sorts category values to maintain consistent order as filters change. This approach removed a redundant useEffect, simplifying the component lifecycle and reducing the risk of regressions. The fix improved UI consistency and enhanced the user experience during data exploration. Demonstrated proficiency in frontend development, React, and state management, utilizing both JavaScript and TypeScript. The work focused on targeted refactoring, utility function extraction, and maintainability improvements within a React-based codebase.
