Jade Pennig is a seasoned software engineering architect specializing in design systems with 11+ years building scalable, component-driven front ends for companies like Salesforce, Twilio, and Apple. She blends deep front-end craftsmanship (OOCSS, CSS theming, Web Components, React/TypeScript) with backend experience in Python, Go, and Ruby, and holds a patent-backed history of inventing automatic UI theming using CIELAB color space. At Salesforce she founded Design System Infrastructure workstreams; at Twilio she helped harden Paste’s monorepo and presented at Signal, and her open-source contributions include meaningful UI component work in the Salesforce Lightning Design System and Twilio Paste. As a manager and mentor she has led teams from prototyping to production, ramping up skills in modern tooling like Next.js, Turborepo, and Storybook. Beyond code, she applies her systems thinking to community leadership—chairing an environmental committee and designing civic websites—and enjoys hands-on fabrication with 3D tools like Snapmaker and Wazer.
