Speeding up designs

Designed and developed Sketch plugins.

Mostly providing keyboard shortcuts to things like exporting slices to the same folder, swapping styles, aligning layers and a few more.

Testing products

Designed and developed (UI engineering) internal tools for A/B testing products.

Introduced a more accessible way for PMs, QA and engineers to change product configurations, for testing the performance of new features + defining gradual rollout.
