Translate Figma patterns into production-ready React and TypeScript components.
Partner with application teams to improve UI consistency across internal products.
Review high-impact workflows for usability, accessibility, and implementation quality.
Define guidance for design tokens, theming, interaction states, and layouts.
Support adoption through documentation, examples, and team enablement sessions.
Stay hands-on through code review, prototyping, and technical design discussions.

Experience with monorepos, shared packages, build tooling, and developer platforms.
