I'm a frontend developer currently @ Meta. I love making cool things on the web with a focus on performant, satisfying UX. Recently moved to London to build a brand new AI-powered design system for WhatsApp.
Creating a Design System for 1B+ Users in the Age of AI
For 11 years the WhatsApp Web platform has been used by a billion people, without any consistent design system the entire time. This talk is the story of I sold the project, built one from scratch, and influenced others, to migrate it into a 1M+ LoC frontend. Plus, how this project was both boosted by AI and strongly benefits AI productivity.
