Fullstack developer

Helped ATS (Applicant Tracking System) startup hya to define their visual identity and build their MVP. I built out the design system using Figma, utilising best practices like team libraries, colour and type styles, and auto layout. 

Alongside the design work, I reskinned existing interfaces, working with the CTO to transition the styling approach from Styled Components to TailwindCSS, providing a faster, more consistent application of the new design system.

I also worked with their designer to plan and implement data-heavy features like reporting, and completely rethought and refactored the application's navigation.
