After 2½ years as an EM, I switched back to an IC role in the Frontend Enablement group. My team has been modernizing Etsy’s seller tools by upgrading our frontend state management to use TypeScript and Redux Toolkit. I’m personally focused on building (and teaching) design patterns for product teams.
