Noam Helfman developed and enhanced the Scroll Timing API within the MicrosoftEdge/MSEdgeExplainers repository, focusing on standardizing scroll performance measurement across platforms. Over two months, Noam defined the API surface, established metrics for responsiveness, smoothness, frame drops, and velocity, and clarified measurement criteria to improve accuracy. The work included comprehensive documentation and a demonstration polyfill, enabling developers to integrate and assess scroll performance more effectively. Using JavaScript and Markdown, Noam refined entry emission rules and provided detailed guidance for frame counting and smoothness, demonstrating depth in API design, front end development, and performance optimization without addressing bug fixes during this period.

February 2026: Delivered Scroll Timing API Enhancements for MicrosoftEdge/MSEdgeExplainers. Clarified definitions, refined entry emission rules, and introduced detailed metrics for frame counting and scroll smoothness during scrolling interactions. The change is tracked in commit 19c0a8638f211869668cd99c953d15a1e9c48397 (Scroll Timing API proposal - clarifications to some definitions (#1233)).
