Luciano Battagliero

Worked on the front-end of Prepare and Assure, two AI-powered tools for simulation training and quality assurance in high-stakes conversations across healthcare, crisis response, and education.

• Created and led Forma, the company’s design system and component library, with over 40 components. Upon joining, identified widespread duplication and inconsistency that was slowing down development and degrading the user experience. Made the case for a unified system and led the effort from day one. The result: significantly improved UI/UX consistency, faster feature development, and better output from AI agents that could now rely on well-documented, predictable components. Drove its long-term vision and backlog, ran bi-weekly meetings with the design team, and led adoption through demos, documentation, code reviews, and hands-on support.
• Rearchitected a complex dashboard from URL-based filters to a fully managed state layer with local caching and server-side persistence. The dashboard state had outgrown what URL params could handle. The new architecture let users save, restore, and share full configurations (filters, charts, and data table layout) across the organization. The data table was custom-built with column reordering, resizing, pinning, sticky columns, drag and drop, and a sidebar for filtering and managing column visibility.

As part of the Audits and Vendor Management engineering team, I developed business-specific features and played a key role in shaping the front-end architecture for the next-gen ZenGRC Platform, designed to replace the company’s flagship product.

• Created and championed a comprehensive code style guide and best practices documentation, supported by a robust linter configuration to ensure consistency and maintainability across the codebase.
• Developed an abstraction layer over React Query to simplify cache handling with GraphQL, making the data fetching process much simpler and less error-prone.
• Made substantial contributions to building and maintaining the internal component library, standardizing UI/UX across the entire product.

Led front-end development for Axia, a financial product focused on portfolio and asset valuations, built from the ground up. Beyond day-to-day implementation, I shaped the architecture, set technical direction, defined coding standards, and collaborated with cross-functional teams to shape the product. A key challenge was replacing fragmented spreadsheet workflows with complex, multi-step forms featuring dependent values, validation rules, and real-time calculations. What previously took days and required sharing files back and forth was now completed in hours and instantly available to the team.

Worked in the engineering team in charge of the content moderation and intellectual property protection platforms, for both internal and end-users. Highly involved in the overall product, collaborating closely with the UX, business, and legal teams.

• Mentored various new hires, both trainees with little experience in the field (tailored programs over a 1-year span) or less senior roles (tailored programs over a 3 to 6 months span).
• Co-organized numerous meetups focused on web technologies, most of them open to the community.

Built websites and web applications using different technologies, frameworks, and tools focused on performance and usability.

Worked alongside studios, agencies, and designers to implement their UI designs into fully functional websites, microsites, or web applications.
