Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAmelia Ruzek is a Lead Design System Architect with 11 years experience designing and engineering scalable web UI systems, currently leading the architecture and delivery of a TypeScript-based shared UI library for Caterpillar’s heavy machinery products. She blends product-minded UX/UI design with software engineering practices—governing bi-weekly semantic-versioned releases, CI/CD automation, and Storybook-driven documentation to keep integrations stable and developer-friendly. Amelia has a track record of building design-ops foundations and onboarding processes that preserve institutional knowledge and accelerate team delivery, and she mentored practitioners through tooling and workflow adoption. With advanced study in digital media design and front-end development from Harvard Extension School, she’s equally at home sketching interaction patterns and specifying component-level contracts. Notably, her systems work anticipates shifts in interface interaction and semantic UI structures, positioning teams to adopt future interaction models without breaking downstream consumers.
