• Facilitated adoption of the new design system by documenting site-level patterns across the developer ecosystem and holding office hours to onboard designers and engineers.
• Advocated for the UX Platform team by creating and giving presentations to illustrate new features we built as well as code and design improvements at bi-weekly company Sprint Demos.
• Enforced design consistency by peer-reviewing pull requests and refactoring CSS, PostCSS, and React component props for efficiency, optimizing performance, and to align with WCAG 2.0 accessibility standards.
• Optimized front-end elements across the entire monorepo by maintaining components throughout the design system’s symbol library, updating changes to components and variables in React Styleguidist, and opening pull requests in Git to pass updates onto every instance.
• Increased operational efficiency by driving down tech debt; deprecating, refactoring, and consolidating thousands of lines of code; identifying bugs; and creating stories to address errors in JIRA with acceptance criteria, documentation, and how changes would impact the rest of the monorepo.
