Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMikaela Gurney is a Frontend Engineer based in San Francisco with eight years of experience building accessible, component-driven web experiences for large product teams. She has shipped TypeScript, LWC, React, and Storybook-powered interfaces at Salesforce and recently joined Harvey to continue crafting polished front-end platforms. Mikaela led accessibility efforts, authored component libraries and ADRecords, and improved developer DX through clear documentation—evident in her contributions to Zendesk’s widely used garden React components. She pairs strong implementation skills (GSAP animations, GraphQL, Jest, Chromatic) with a habit of writing precise prop and usage docs that reduce onboarding friction for other engineers. Comfortable triaging org-wide bugs and spinning up POCs for greenfield initiatives, she blends product sensibility with a systems view of front-end architecture. Outside of code, her background in technical writing and cross-team syncs makes her especially effective at turning design intent into reliable, maintainable UI.
