Hawk Ticehurst is a UX engineer with seven years of experience designing and shipping developer-facing interfaces from New York City, currently working as a Design Developer in Microsoft’s Developer Division. He led the creation and maintenance of the Webview UI Toolkit for Visual Studio Code—an open-source component library used by extensions with 100+ million installs—and drove frontend work for high-profile projects like the .NET Conference 2022 site. Hawk blends product-minded design sensibilities with pragmatic front-end engineering, owning projects end-to-end from empty repo to v1.0 release. His background includes teaching and mentorship roles in university web development courses, where he emphasized clean, scalable code and professional communication. Comfortable across React, TypeScript, and CI/CD pipelines, he also brings an unusual mix of media production experience that informs his attention to visual detail and storytelling in UI.
