Storytelling Component Builder

I contributed as a frontend/platform engineer on a WordPress Gutenberg plugin to build immersive storytelling experiences for editorial teams.

• Implemented native storytelling blocks for sections, animated image sequences, media-step narratives, immersive images, galleries, and video.
• Worked on editor constraints and block governance so storytelling structures could be composed safely without invalid nesting.
• Built template-loading flows in the editor, including template fetch/insert behavior and preservation of Multi-Title context when loading new templates.
• Contributed to Copilot integrations for editorial workflows, including headline slot integration, content checking hooks, and AI-generated image alt text actions.
• Supported frontend interaction behaviors for storytelling experiences, including media gallery/lightbox initialization and block runtime setup.

• WordPress block editor stack with React and @wordpress/* packages.
• Native Gutenberg block registration and edit/save pipelines for custom storytelling block types.
• Document-level template system with block conversion/insertion logic.
• Copilot integration layer with extensible hooks for headline suggestions, content checks, and alt text generation endpoints.
• Performance-oriented browser utilities using IntersectionObserver for lazy backgrounds and viewport-aware media handling.

• Enabled editors to produce immersive narrative pages directly in Gutenberg with reusable storytelling building blocks.
• Reduced editorial setup time by providing reusable templates and one-click template loading inside the story editor workflow.
• Improved content quality and accessibility workflows through Copilot-assisted headline/content checks and alt text generation.
• Increased maintainability with a modular architecture across blocks, plugins, integrations, and shared utilities.
