01Experience
Proof I show up.
The teams that put up with me.
An AI presentation platform that turns a prompt into a deck you can actually edit. I worked on the editor itself: how slides render, how you select things, and how it all survives a resize.
getalai.com- Replaced TLDraw's renderer and the Yoga layout engine with a DOM-first architecture, so slide content lays out with the browser instead of fighting it. (80% faster manual editing)
- Built a custom theme builder that lets users create and edit their own deck themes, with colour, type, and layout tokens resolved at render time.
- Designed reusable runtime patterns for complex slide components: nested editing, precise selection, responsive resizing, and reliable export.
- Worked directly with the founders and designers on frontend architecture and UI/UX decisions.
