Josh Row refactored the UEF ACU Enhancement system in the FAForever/fa repository, replacing a monolithic function with modular, per-enhancement-type handlers to improve maintainability and extensibility. He then developed a cross-faction modular enhancement processing framework for ACU and SACU units, introducing dynamic dispatch by enhancement name and standardizing behavior across Aeon, Cybran, UEF, and Seraphim. This Lua-based work emphasized modularity, scripting, and game balance, reducing code complexity and simplifying future feature additions. Additionally, Josh adjusted naval hover flak balance by removing water speed multipliers, addressing gameplay diversity. The work demonstrated thoughtful engineering depth and future-oriented design.
