See allHi, I'm Joel.
Boricua, pa' que tu lo sepas. I've spent 15+ years between design and engineering, building design systems and shipping product. I'm the person who notices when a button is 2px off.
My career has taken some turns. Front-end work for Disney and Pixar through an agency, co-building health startups where the users were actual patients, then joining Linux Academy when it had 20 people and leaving when it had 200+. These days I'm a Senior Design Engineer at Buildout, building the design system and the interfaces on top of it.
Off the clock: piano, video games, and outside.

Let's make something worth making.
A new product, a stuck design system, or just a good conversation. I read every note and I write back.
