Shaping user experience and building new products 🥁

Design Systems - all things eng and design 🎨

• Build, maintain, and elevate Asana’s Design System framework, a crucial resource for all frontend engineers and designers at Asana, to increase developer velocity without sacrificing quality. Utilizing technologies such as React, Typescript, Sass CSS, HTML, Bazel, and frontend frameworks, etc.

• Engineer foundational, accessible frontend building blocks integral to every product feature at Asana, directly enhancing the experience of every single Asana user (approximately 30 million users).

• Spearheaded the creation of a code-tokens to Figma Variables sync service, introducing color, spacing, and sizing tokens along with themes to all Asana designers. This improved tooling satisfaction in designers from 69% to 95%.

• Led a multi-quarter cross-functional initiative to consistently capitalize all user-facing localized text across Asana, greatly increasing Content Design satisfaction, and making Asana a more appealing choice for Enterprise customers.

• Mentored 2 junior, and mid-level engineers from underrepresented communities, setting them up for success in their careers.

• Redesigned Asana’s ubiquitous placeholders and loading indicators by introducing new animations that effectively convey sentiment. Increasing user persistence for surfaces with extended loading times.

• Own, maintain, and be the primary point of contact for all Avatar, Card, and Button core components at Asana.

[Technology & skills] React, Typescript, HTML, Sass & CSS, Bazel, Figma APIs, design system frameworks, and more

• Unlocked tens of millions of dollars in client spending through the successful development and implementation of new features quarterly, bringing in ~$1.25M per month in client spending from two new features in 2021 alone.

• Led and owned 5+ cross-team projects that required technical planning, prioritization, task delegation, project execution, documentation, and cross-team coordination.

• Coordinated org-level communications and streamlined the escalation of on-call tickets/issues from the Client Services teams to the Engineering org, reducing escalation latency by 25%.

• Developed 10+ essential customer-facing features for Quantcast's new self-serve platform using React, Typescript, Redux, GraphQL, and gRPC Java services.

• Mentored 2 junior developers and led team functions to deliver robust projects while accelerating project completion.

• Identified, researched, and proposed actionable solutions for major new marketing features that would help Quantcast enter new markets, as an interim Associate Product Manager.

• Built custom frontend components using design libraries to support complex features with async calls, debouncing, memorization, and boolean operations in a single interaction while providing ease of use.

• Scaled, migrated, and automated 3 micro-services to improve security and cost-savings using Terraform, Jenkins, AWS: Lambda, EBS, S3, KMS, Route53, and API Gateway which resulted in 5 times faster deployment.

• Designed and created multiple internal tools using Jupyter Notebooks, Python, Spark, Pandas Dataframes, and probability theories, which decreased troubleshooting time by 40%.

• [UI/UX] Designed, investigated, and assessed client-facing features to provide immaculate customer journeys.

• [Hackathons] Build multiple projects and proofs-of-concept to bring clients' most-wanted features to reality, and get some projects funded to be included in production systems
