Contributed to microsoft/fluentui-apple by designing and refining UI components and accessibility features for iOS and macCatalyst using Swift, Objective-C, and SwiftUI. Delivered enhancements such as improved VoiceOver support for bottom sheets, dynamic accessibility identifiers, and localization updates to support global users. Implemented robust notification behaviors, including swipe-to-dismiss, expand/collapse actions, and animation handling, while ensuring layout consistency across device orientations and safe area states. Addressed bugs affecting UI reliability, particularly in bottom sheet interactions, and reinforced test automation with XCTest. The work emphasized maintainable code, cross-platform compatibility, and inclusive user experiences through thoughtful accessibility and UI/UX design.

Jun 1, 2026June 2026 — FluentUI iOS (microsoft/fluentui-apple) monthly summary focused on stabilization of UI layout for bottom sheet interactions. Primary effort this month was a targeted bug fix rather than feature delivery. Key features delivered: - No new user-facing features this month; stabilization work to ensure consistent UI behavior across partial bottom sheet states. Major bugs fixed: - Bottom Sheet Collapse Height Calculation with Partial Expansion State: corrected the calculation of the collapsed height to account for partial expansion state, ensuring the safe area layout calculation dynamically selects the correct offset based on the current target expansion state. Commit e08e1860d88e2ccdd256e6321de35782ae4bbcec (PR #2273). Overall impact and accomplishments: - Improved UI correctness and consistency for bottom sheets across partial expansion states, reducing layout glitches and improving the user experience on iOS devices. This also reduces potential rework and support issues related to safe area insets. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - iOS UI layout and safe area handling, state-aware calculations, and code review/version control practices (Git commits referencing #2273).
