Over a two-month period, contributed accessibility-focused enhancements to the Skyscanner/backpack repository, concentrating on modal and bottom sheet components. Developed features in JavaScript and TypeScript using React, introducing an ariaLabel prop to BpkModal to ensure screen reader users receive appropriate context when headers are hidden. Enhanced BpkBottomSheet by adding a visually hidden title, improving navigation for Android TalkBack users and aligning DOM order for predictable screen reader flow. Prioritized robust testing and documentation to verify accessibility compliance and prevent regressions, integrating changes with existing ARIA patterns. The work emphasized component development, accessibility best practices, and front end development workflows.
