Applied AI · Enterprise design system

A-Blocks — spec-first AI-assisted engineering

Enterprise frontend infrastructure that combines spec-first AI generation, deterministic validation, design-token automation, and cross-framework delivery.

77 automated checks85+ components~1,630 design tokens

Project breakdown

Engineered an Agentic Design Lifecycle (ADLC) using schema-driven component contracts, automated self-correction loops, deterministic Playwright validation, and custom Model Context Protocol integrations.
Established a 77-check quality framework spanning component quality, runtime behavior, accessibility, security, and performance for AI-generated frontend components.
Modernized core platform infrastructure across five environments by migrating Blocks and Atoms to Microsoft Entra ID and upgrading CloudFront/Lambda@Edge runtimes from Node.js 20.x to 24.x.
Rolled out Brand Refresh and Dark Theme across 85+ components and approximately 1,630 design tokens across three themes; created Figma-to-token synchronization reaching roughly 80–90% automation.
Architected virtualized hierarchical tables handling 1,000+ nested records, custom column resizing, and collapsible regions to eliminate rendering lag in large enterprise applications.
Resolved seven high/medium Bug Bounty and PII-related vulnerabilities, led secret-leakage investigations, and supported production reliability across seven support rotations.
Managed a 177-work-item engineering footprint, including 53 delegated stories and defects across 15+ cross-functional engineers.
Created repository-hygiene and deployment-consolidation strategies that purged 2,664 stale branches and reduced 25 parallel deployment pipelines to six unified targets.

How I work

Make complexity explicit inside the system so people can feel calm outside it.

01 Clarity over cleverness.

02 Evidence over theatre.

03 Humans stay in the loop.
