Shioju worked on the GovTechSG/oobee repository, delivering two features over two months focused on accessibility and web scraping. They enhanced accessibility audits by updating WCAG rules, improving help metadata, and implementing CSS-selector based flagging of unlabelled clickable elements, which deepened coverage and improved data cleanliness. Shioju also added debugging logs and built an XPath-to-CSS converter to support targeted checks, using JavaScript and TypeScript. In the following month, they refactored the XPath to CSS selector conversion in crawler utilities to use a standard npm package, increasing reliability and maintainability while reducing bespoke logic and supporting robust data extraction.

November 2024 – GovTechSG/oobee: Delivered a refactor of the XPath to CSS selector conversion in the common crawler utilities to rely on a standard npm package. This change improves reliability, maintainability, and testability of selector generation, reducing bespoke logic and enabling easier future updates. The update aligns with ongoing technical debt reduction and supports more robust data extraction downstream.

October 2024 — GovTechSG/oobee: Delivered Comprehensive Accessibility Audit Enhancements, including updated WCAG rules and help metadata in the Axe configuration, CSS-selector based flagging of unlabelled clickable elements, removal of the data-flagged attribute from outputs, and added debugging logs plus an XPath-to-CSS converter for targeted checks. Major bug fix: removed the data-flagged attribute to improve data cleanliness. Impact: deeper accessibility coverage, cleaner data surfaces, and faster triage. Technologies/skills: Axe accessibility tooling, WCAG standards, CSS selectors, XPath conversion, debugging logs, data quality and observability.
