Reusable components & engineering enablement

Design Systems & Developer Tooling

Installable UI components, hosted documentation and reusable tooling for product engineers.

Business problem

The challenge

Teams needed a practical way to reuse components and tokens across applications without repeating installation and setup work.

Technical solution

Our approach

Generated shadcn registry, hosted Storybook and documented component/setup contracts.

  1. 01

    Build the component registry

    Built the shadcn registry service/generator to discover components, hooks, assets and tokens; rewrite monorepo imports; infer dependencies; and serve installable registry assets.

  2. 02

    Document and extend the system

    Hosted browsable Storybook, documented installation/contribution and extended contextual menus, status badges, reach visuals and shared URL helpers.

  3. 03

    Enable the wider team

    Contributed MFE starter/setup documentation, local proxy routes and interview exercises for React/API, TypeScript/Express, CSV parsing, SQL and QA.

Results & impact

Project outcomes

Installable UI components, hosted documentation and reusable tooling for product engineers.

Installable

Shared components and tokens

Registry generation resolves source files and dependencies for consuming applications.

Documented

Team development workflows

Storybook and setup guidance make components and conventions easier to adopt.
