Staff Frontend Engineer · 11 yrs

NoaVidal

I build accessible, fast interfaces for design systems and developer tools — turning fuzzy product bets into shipped, measured experiences.

Summary

Staff frontend engineer who pairs systems thinking with a relentless bias for accessibility and performance. I lead from the codebase, mentor across teams, and make the boring parts — tokens, testing, build times — genuinely fast.

Experience

  1. Staff Frontend Engineer

    • Own the cross-product design system used by 7 squads; cut component duplication by ~60% and shipped a token pipeline adopted in two weeks.
    • Drove a Core Web Vitals program that pulled median LCP from 3.1s to 1.8s across the marketing and app surfaces.
    • Mentor 5 engineers; introduced an RFC + spike rhythm that shortened design-to-merge from 3 weeks to 8 days.
  2. Senior Frontend Engineer

    • Rebuilt the map editor canvas in TypeScript; sustained 60fps on 50k-feature scenes with virtualized rendering.
    • Led the migration off a legacy SPA to an islands architecture, removing 40% of shipped JavaScript.
    • Set the accessibility bar: every release gates on automated axe + manual keyboard passes.
  3. Frontend Engineer

    • Built the PCI-scoped checkout flow; reduced cart abandonment 12% with progressive validation.
    • Authored the first shared component library, replacing four divergent style sheets.
  4. Junior Developer

    • Delivered 20+ client microsites; learned to ship small, measure, and iterate.
