Orlando Qiu enhanced developer tooling in the Shopify/theme-tools repository by building advanced language server features and parser improvements for Shopify themes. He implemented cross-file references and document linking for JSON and Liquid schemas, enabling richer navigation and code analysis. Orlando developed an orphaned snippet check to identify unused code, improving maintainability and code quality. He also added Liquid HTML parser support for snippet tags, accurately representing their structure in both CST and AST stages. His work relied on TypeScript, JavaScript, and the Language Server Protocol, demonstrating depth in parser development, static analysis, and test-driven workflows to strengthen long-term theme tooling reliability.

September 2025 (2025-09) monthly summary for Shopify/theme-tools focused on delivering developer tooling enhancements and code health improvements that drive business value and long-term maintainability. Key features delivered include Theme Language Tools Improvements (cross-file references in the language server, document linking enhancements for JSON and Liquid schema, and Liquid parser enhancements) and the Orphaned Snippet Check for Shopify Themes (a new theme check to identify orphaned snippets and prevent unused code). Major fixes included aligning tests and refactors around JSON language service instantiation and updating test cases to match document linking changes. Overall impact: improved developer productivity through richer navigation and references, higher code quality by catching orphaned snippets earlier, and a stronger baseline for future theme tooling. Technologies/skills demonstrated: TypeScript/Language Server Protocol, JSON/Liquid schema parsing and linking, test-driven development and test infra refactoring, and maintainability through shared type definitions (theme-check-common).
