During my engagement with Capital One, I played a pivotal role in improving the overall user experience. I focused on bridging the gap between design and accessibility teams, fostering effective collaboration. This ensured compliance with accessibility guidelines and the delivery of inclusive, user-friendly solutions.

Additionally, I focused on improving the scalability and efficiency of their frontend systems. While expanding the component library, I worked on decoupling components from CMS implementation details, which helped standardize data and improve frontend flexibility. This approach streamlined the development process and enhanced maintainability.

Solana's webpages were previously generated using hardcoded static content, including locale-specific variations, which limited their flexibility and scalability. To overcome these challenges, I collaborated with a team to create a highly modular and well-documented component library based on the atomic design system. This approach standardized reusable components, improving both the efficiency and scalability of the development process, which streamlined the implementation of new features.

Additionally, I streamlined the page creation process by transitioning from hardcoded solutions to integration with a headless CMS. This shift enabled web content creators to manage content dynamically, reducing development time and increasing flexibility. The new system empowered editors to easily create and update localized pages without requiring ongoing engineering support.

I worked with a team to migrate SevenRooms' WordPress-based site to a statically generated React site, adopting modern technologies to create a more efficient architecture. To support rapid page creation and management, we integrated Builder.io as the headless CMS. This provided greater flexibility and faster content updates. We utilized PandasCSS for consistent and scalable styling across the platform, ensuring a streamlined development process. To enhance maintainability, we documented the entire component library using Storybook, making it easier for the team to extend the site with reusable components.
