Summary
Balázs Barta is a design technologist with 9 years of experience building production-ready UIs, design systems, and AI-enabled frontend tooling for venture-backed startups. He’s spent years as the sole designer at high-growth companies, owning everything from user research and Figma prototypes to React/React Native implementations and accessibility-first HTML/CSS. Balázs architected token-based design systems in Figma and production component libraries (Next.js + Storybook) that drove rapid adoption and measurable product improvements, including a 215% lift in CTA engagement. He regularly combines hands-on coding with AI tooling—creating Claude Code plugins, prompt systems, and RAG-powered agents—to accelerate planning, code review, and complex logic. Based in Eger, Hungary, he partners with US companies as an independent contractor and prefers to learn by shipping, having left formal CS study to build real products. Beyond typical designer-developer overlap, he’s notable for treating the frontend as the designer’s domain and for turning hobby projects from high school into scalable product systems.
