Enterprise design system on Microsoft 365

Context

At the Federal Reserve Board, my principal engineering work includes Microsoft 365 web platforms for economics teams. These are tools people use to do their jobs: clear interfaces and consistent behavior matter as much as the underlying platform capabilities.

Shared frontend patterns help teams avoid solving the same interface problems repeatedly. My focus is on the engineering and user experience that make these applications understandable, accessible, and maintainable.

My contribution

I architect and scale a reusable React and TypeScript design system with SharePoint Framework (SPFx) integration patterns. The work includes component architecture and frontend engineering standards covering TypeScript, CSS structure, and performance practices.

Microsoft Graph and PnPjs integrations connect applications with Microsoft 365 capabilities. That platform work sits alongside the interface work: reusable components need to fit the data and workflows they support, not just look consistent.

Making shared patterns usable

A component library is only part of a shared system. I create documentation and lead training to help teams adopt components in their own applications, and mentor engineers on React, TypeScript architecture, and platform practices.

GitLab templates and CI/CD pipelines support consistent development workflows. Semantic HTML, modern CSS, and accessibility remain part of implementation decisions. I also share frontend architecture, design-system, and SPFx practices at SharePoint conferences.

AI-assisted development: a separate capability

I have also introduced AI-assisted workflows into SPFx projects and established team practices for their responsible use. This is distinct from the design-system work: AI tools support engineering judgment rather than replace component standards, review, or accessibility work.

Scope and evidence

The work includes shared components adopted across teams, documentation, training, and development standards. The focus here is the component architecture and the practices that help other engineers use it.

Internal work — public discussion is limited to patterns and responsibilities, without internal screenshots, production data, or unpublished system details.
