Petri Ammala developed and enhanced the digabi/exam-engine, focusing on end-to-end audio answer support, UI consistency, and secure release automation. He implemented audio recording and playback features, integrated them with exam grading, and improved accessibility through localization and schema updates. Using TypeScript, React, and CSS, Petri modernized the codebase with automated releases via GitHub Actions, introduced color theming with CSS variables, and strengthened CI/CD pipelines with OIDC-secured npm publishing. His work included robust error handling, chunked audio storage, and comprehensive testing, resulting in a maintainable, accessible, and reliable exam platform that supports scalable, business-critical assessment workflows.

October 2025 focused on securing and stabilizing the package publishing pipeline, modernizing tooling, and extending core product capabilities. Notable outcomes across three repos include secure CI/CD publishing in exam-engine, tooling and dependency modernization, CI reliability improvements in rich-text-editor, and map system enhancements in koe-ohje with a version bump. These efforts reduce risk, improve maintainability, and deliver business value through faster, safer releases and richer end-user features.
