Worked on the googlemaps-samples/js-api-samples repository to enhance compatibility with Node 24.x by focusing on dependency management and package hygiene. Addressed a critical bug by updating the package-lock.json file, aligning dependency versions, and removing deprecated packages to prevent build and runtime issues. Utilized Node.js and JSON to ensure the project’s dependencies remained current and secure, supporting stable CI/CD processes and downstream integrations. No new features were introduced during this period, but the work laid a solid foundation for future Node 24.x initiatives and maintained overall repository health without introducing regressions, emphasizing reliability and long-term maintainability.
