Over four months, contributed to the communitiesuk/epb-ecaas-frontend and CodeYourFuture/curriculum repositories by building cross-platform desktop scaffolding with Tauri, integrating Rust-based computation for FHS calculations, and simplifying API access token management to improve security and maintainability. Enhanced type safety and test coverage in TypeScript modules, and addressed user experience issues by preventing unwanted navigation gestures in web components. The work combined backend and frontend development, leveraging JavaScript, Rust, and TypeScript to deliver features that clarified product identity, automated calculations, and reduced boilerplate, while targeted refactors and tests strengthened code quality and supported future extensibility across both projects.
August 2025 monthly summary: Focused on UX stability and type-safety improvements across two repos, delivering targeted fixes and refactors that reduce risk and improve maintainability. Key outcomes include 1) CodeYourFuture/curriculum: prevented accidental navigation gestures during horizontal scroll by introducing isScrollingHorizontally state and a helper to detect horizontally scrollable targets; commit 9756ca8e80bcdffec46797194b22d8225e7666eb. 2) communitiesuk/epb-ecaas-frontend: added tests verifying PageId union coverage and refactored pvAndBatteries.ts to use string literals for page IDs with a type assertion for pvAndBatteriesPages; commit d234a673f3e8b8799188f37602b17e23ebd0f5ce. The overall impact: reduced UX drift from unintended navigation, improved type safety and test coverage, and stronger foundations for future refactors.

June 2025 monthly summary for the repository communitiesuk/epb-ecaas-frontend. Delivered API Access Token Management Simplification, centralizing token retrieval inside the ecaasApi service to remove the need for explicitly passing access tokens in API calls. This refactor reduces boilerplate, improves consistency, and enhances security across API interactions. No critical bugs reported this month; the frontend remains stable with the new token management flow. The change is ready for production with a clean commit history and maintainable codebase.
