Samuel Gomez contributed to the AxaFrance/design-system repository by delivering a series of UI components and design system enhancements focused on accessibility, maintainability, and cross-theme consistency. He developed and refactored React components such as Message, CardCheckbox, and InputPhone, standardizing naming conventions and visual behavior across Apollo and Look&Feel themes. Samuel migrated styles from SCSS to CSS, integrated PostCSS for token generation, and improved CI/CD workflows using GitHub Actions. His work included responsive design patterns, accessibility improvements, and comprehensive documentation updates, resulting in a more stable, accessible, and developer-friendly design system with reduced maintenance overhead and clearer migration paths.

October 2025: In AxaFrance/design-system, delivered three major outcomes: 1) DataAgent Responsive Compact Mode introduced two display modes (compact/mobile and classic/desktop) with resize-based layout detection and updated tests; 2) Form Controls UI Refinement polished visuals by adjusting border widths for checked and invalid states and removed an unused CSS variable; 3) Documentation Quality Improvements fixing typos and standardizing presentations across DataAgent, Stepper, and design-system stories. Impact: enhanced mobile UX, consistent UI, clearer developer docs, and improved test coverage. Technologies demonstrated: React component design, responsive UI patterns, CSS variable management, and documentation standards.

Month: 2025-09 — AxaFrance/design-system focused enhancements for the Apollo Look & Feel, along with CI/publishing improvements and CSS modernization. Key features delivered stabilize UI and improve theming, and introduce capabilities that reduce maintenance and accelerate design-system adoption. Key features delivered: - Look & Feel (Apollo): Core UI fixes and refactors to stabilize placeholder styling, focus handling, and overall look&feel; added groundwork for more consistent theming across components. - Look & Feel (Apollo): Added No Picker mode to support a leaner UI in contexts where a picker is not required. - Look & Feel (Apollo): ItemMessage and related components enhancements to expose ItemMessage variants and align ItemLabel, ItemFile, TextArea and CardRadio to use ItemMessage props. - Design System CI and publishing workflow: Separated Storybook CI jobs and added a standalone workflow to publish storybooks, enabling more reliable and faster releases. - CSS modernization and tokens: Moved from Sass to CSS, generated tokens for look & feel, and integrated PostCSS into CI/build pipelines; included multiple Sass-to-CSS migrations across components. - Documentation: Dropdown usage documented for Look & Feel; readme updated for Apollo Look & Feel. - CI tooling and stability: Prepared CI build with PostCSS; serialized design-system builds for stability. Major bugs fixed: - InputPhone default class: fixed to ensure default classes are preserved and styling remains stable. - General UI stability: focused fixes and refactors to ensure consistent behavior across dropdowns, focus states, and responsive typography. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Consistent, accessible, and faster UI theming across Apollo Look & Feel; improved stakeholder confidence in design-system stability and reliability of publishing workflows; reduced risk of regressions via CI isolation and serialized builds. - Accelerated design-system adoption by providing clear documentation, a no-picker mode for specific flows, and a streamlined publishing process. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - React component design and prop standardization (ItemMessage across multiple components) - CSS modernization (Sass to CSS) and PostCSS integration - Token generation for design system theming - CI/CD: separate and publish-ready workflows, serial build execution, and Storybook publishing - Documentation and developer experience improvements
