Summary
Mathilde Buenerd is a Senior Frontend Engineer with nine years of experience building complex, user-centered interfaces and a certified Professional in Web Accessibility (IAAP CPWA). She has shaped no-code experiences at scale—most recently contributing to Shopify’s Theme Editor and AI-driven Sidekick to help millions of merchants customize stores with performant, accessible components. A frequent speaker on WCAG and ARIA, she blends hands-on engineering with advocacy, mentoring, and educational content creation to elevate developer accessibility practices. Her background in design and media (Master in Design) informs a strong UX-first approach, from visual systems to semantic HTML and ARIA. Now at TheyDo, she applies that intersection of design thinking and frontend engineering to journey management products. Colleagues find her particularly effective at translating design fiction and teaching experience into pragmatic, inclusive frontend solutions.
