ABOUT THE COMPANY
Bild is a cloud-native PDM and PLM SaaS platform that provides hardware engineers with modern version control, design review, and project management tools. Thousands of engineers use it daily to manage complex hardware development lifecycles.
DARK MODE
Introduced dark mode across the entire product from scratch. This involved an architectural overhaul of the styling system, migrating from hardcoded hex values to a semantic token-based system.
The implementation streamlined the CSS architecture, resulting in approximately 18% overall codebase reduction and significantly improved maintainability for future UI iterations.
DUPLICATE FILE DETECTION
The existing duplicate file detection feature was hitting AWS Lambda's hard 15-minute execution timeout when processing large hardware assemblies. By re-architecting the comparison logic and moving heavy processing to a stream-based analysis, compute time dropped to 3 seconds.
OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS
Replaced hardcoded heights throughout the dashboard with a flexible flexbox grid, eliminating layout breakage on ultra-wide and mobile viewports.
Built a DynamoDB utility layer that standardized data access patterns and reduced boilerplate across the serverless microservices.
Onboarded and mentored 3 new engineers, establishing documentation for the local development environment and CI/CD pipelines.
