Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJeff Nelson is a Senior UX Engineer with 13 years of front-end experience, blending deep design-system expertise, accessibility advocacy, and pragmatic developer tooling. He has led design-system initiatives at scale—owning testing, versioned releases, CI automation, and documentation—while pairing closely with designers to codify tokens, semantics, and component accessibility. Comfortable across React, Ember, TypeScript, Storybook and visual-regression tooling, Jeff reliably turns legacy UI patterns into maintainable, testable systems that reduce upgrade friction (he’s even written codemods and custom GitHub actions to do it). A former agency developer who now focuses on web-based tools, he brings a craftsperson’s eye for typography and interaction alongside a history of cost-saving SSG and performance improvements. Based in Edmonton, he balances engineer-level rigor with a designer’s sensibility—candlelit mechanical keyboard and all.
