Engineering is linked with “left-brain” thinking and design with “right-brain” thinking. However, the best solution to many problems comes from combining both forms of thinking. A designer who is adept in engineering is able to craft sophisticated product features. Similarly, an engineer with a design background will be able to create a more intuitive and appealing product. Having a deep understanding of both form and function and being able to speak the language of both the designer and engineer allows products to be implemented exactly as they were envisioned, thereby eliminating the communication barrier that typically exists between teams. This allows information to be interpreted correctly and results in clear, consistent products that delight users.
As Senior Frontend Engineer, I'm leading the development of scalable, high-performance user interfaces using React and TypeScript while collaborating with cross-functional teams to design and implement new features, optimize API integrations, and ensure accessibility and cross-browser compatibility.
• Redesigned and implemented the UI/UX for the primary apps used by all three user types (consumer, courier, and restaurant) based on user-centered design principles. • Revamped the overall brand image and designed several new logos. • Leveraged analytics and UX research to gain insight and drive decision-making to optimize the user experience of critical, high-traffic apps.
• Contributed to a React/Redux project management app, which scaled to over one million users. • Created a reusable component library to speed up development time and ensure visual consistency across all products. • Designed and implemented a living design system. • Led and mentored a team of junior developers through code reviews and weekly project-based training sessions. • Collaborated with cross-functional teams to developed various internal systems based on their needs. • Collaborated with the design and marketing team to implement responsive web page designs and product guides while ensuring cross-browser compatibility and optimal performance.
• Led UX research for a mobile point-of-sale platform, resulting in increased Q4 revenue. • Designed and implemented reporting, third-party integration, authentication, and messaging microservices to support point-of-sale platform. • Automated infrastructure provisioning to streamline deployments. • Participated in on-call rotation among the engineering team.
• Embedded with series A startups to build MVPs. • Designed and implemented an internal time-trackng app. • Developed various internal tooling. • Mentored junior developers through monthly pair programming sessions.
