At Alai —As a software engineer, I contribute to all parts of the product. My work involves implementing new as well as enhancing the existing slide elements, which improves the overall presentation experience.
For in-depth details of my work, please contact me.
Tables, Timelines & Staged Elements
Tables, Timelines & Staged Elements like Funnels are vital for high quality visualizations. I was responsible for adding these elements end-to-end.This included making sure the AI generates informative layouts using them & showcasing them along with various presets & styles for user customization.Furthermore, while building one of the most customizable elements in the product, I also established foundational code patterns & design systems, which streamlined future element development for faster iteration.
Core System Refactor
A thorough overhaul of our primary TLDraw shape creation system focused on enhancing effectiveness & versatility, as well as reducing shape update latency.The refactor introduced a new, streamlined approach for creating TLDraw shapes from our Alai Elements, enabling us to create complex shapes with ease.This allowed for a better user experience, by allowing instantaneous shape creation & updates throughout the slide.
Sections & Sidebars
Revamped one of the most crucial elements of every presentation, the Sections. This included adding more ways to customize, style & position them, inherently making them more vibrant & appealing.I was also responsible for laying the foundation & developing the components for element sidebars & the various options that allow for more customization to the elements.
