PROFILE
James Sheasby Thomas
Worked on the oaknational/Oak-Web-Application repository, delivering features and improvements focused on frontend development, accessibility, and testing reliability. Over three months, contributed an Excel curriculum export by enabling a feature flag and updating the UI, enhanced header search accessibility with ARIA attributes, and refactored legacy Jest snapshot tests to improve maintainability. Leveraged JavaScript, TypeScript, and React to implement these changes, while also updating documentation and CI/CD processes using GitHub Actions and YAML. The work addressed both user-facing enhancements and developer experience, reducing test fragility, improving screen reader support, and streamlining deployment workflows for a more robust application.

Sep 1, 2025September 2025 monthly summary for oaknational/Oak-Web-Application focusing on delivered value and technical execution. Key changes: Excel Curriculum Export (XLSX) feature delivered by flipping the NC XLSX flag to true and updating the UI to expose the Excel option, aligning the National curriculum download tile with the Excel format. CI/CD/PR process enhancements implemented to reduce friction and improve reliability: PR template now points to the OWA Preview URL from Vercel bot comments and the update_pr_description automation step was disabled to prevent auto-linking of deployment URLs to PR bodies.
