X-Team - Front-End Visual Storytelling Engineer (2025 - Present, New York · EEUU)

Centralized recurring interactive patterns into a shared Storybook-driven component library to solve UI inconsistency, reducing duplicated implementation work across multiple editorial teams.

Transformed structured content formats into production-ready visual platforms to handle complex multimedia data, enabling journalists to publish rich, data-driven editorial experiences more efficiently.

Engineered a centralized editorial component platform to bypass highly manual embedding processes, minimizing deployment friction and creating a reliable, repeatable publishing workflow.

Implemented comprehensive defensive testing architectures using Jest, React Testing Library, and Playwright across complex editorial workflows, significantly reducing regression risk and safeguarding critical user journeys in high-traffic legacy platforms.

Built an AI-powered visualization proof of concept for a WordPress/Gutenberg editorial platform, using OpenAI to analyze article content and recommend relevant chart blocks based on available newsroom data sources. Delivered the workflow across the PHP API layer, prompt design, contextual data matching, and a React/Gutenberg editor UI for reviewing and inserting suggested visualizations.

Used AI-assisted tooling, including Cursor, to accelerate work across multiple WordPress/Gutenberg plugins in a complex legacy platform, supporting faster code exploration, implementation planning, refactoring, documentation, and test coverage analysis while maintaining ownership of architecture decisions, code quality, and testing strategy.
