At Fastly, I played a key role in creating and maintaining our design system, collaborating closely with frontend application engineers and designers to ensure consistency and quality across our products. I was instrumental in developing and scaling our React component library, with a strong focus on accessibility to ensure that our products are usable by everyone.
I also spearheaded the development of our design tokens tooling, streamlining the process of maintaining design consistency across our applications. Additionally, I built out our icons library, which was directly synchronized with a designer-maintained Figma file, ensuring that our visual assets were always up-to-date and accurately reflected our brand's identity.
A major part of my work involved helping Fastly migrate from Ember to React, a significant shift that improved our frontend architecture. Throughout this process, I mentored engineers, sharing knowledge and best practices to elevate our team's overall proficiency and productivity.
