She also addressed a bug affecting geolocation-based search, ensuring the map centers accurately on the user’s location when permission is granted. Whitney’s work improved the onboarding experience and reduced edge-case issues, demonstrating a thoughtful approach to user experience and stability within a focused, month-long development period on a live product.
