A Figma plugin initially extending Themer, but gradually updated to support additional token types, a React UI built with our design system components, and analytics using Wayfair’s internal tracking system.

This plugin was needed for the Homebase team to migrate from Sketch to Figma. I was in charge of the initial investigation and implementation, and led subsequent maintenance and feature development. As a result of adopting this plugin, we were able to maintain 3 times as many themes using 1/3 of the assets.

You can read more about the development and use of this plugin in this Medium blog post.

A browser extension used internally at Wayfair to measure the proportion of Homebase components on a page. This was used by other teams at Wayfair to measure their compliance with our design system. I did the initial development, researching how to develop and publish a Chrome extension and implementing it in TypeScript (one of the first major projects on the Homebase team to use it).

Homebase is a UI library used internally at Wayfair across it’s web, Android, and iOS apps. I mostly focused on the web library, which was written in React, and the related Figma assets. Tasks usually involved making technical changes to ensure the components were accessible and bug-free, and working with the design team to evaluate new components and variants of those components. We maintained an extensive testing setup for this library, using Jest for unit tests, Cypress for integration tests, and Chromatic for Visual Regression tests. We also maintained a regular release cadence of a new version every 2 weeks, alternating the responsibility among team members.

A NextJS website that was used internally at Wayfair to document how to use the Homebase UI library. It hosted live demos of Homebase components, design and accessibility guidelines, information on how to setup the libraries and related tooling, and a sandbox where people could test out the components and prototype layouts. In addition to doing frontend and backend web development on the site, we also were in charge of deploying this site through Google Cloud Platform, which required knowledge of Docker, Kubernetes, Buildkite, and Terraform.
