Design Contributions and Challenges
Design Contributions and Challenges
During my tenure on the Marathon team, I undertook different responsibilities that evolved over time. Initially, I focused on mentoring junior colleagues, helping to build a stronger, more skilled team. As our project progressed, I became more involved in the implementation and adoption of ARCO, Arundo's new design system. This initiative led to important improvements, considerably enhancing Marathon's UI and streamlining our design processes. Throughout this period, I maintained close collaboration with our project manager in order to tackle information architecture issues and to craft new features, such as the Warrant Report module.
Enhancements to the Alert System
Another notable improvement was refining Marathon's alert system to prioritize notifications based on severity. This change allowed users to focus on the most critical issues first, ensuring faster response times and reducing the risk of equipment failure. By streamlining how alerts are managed, we aimed at increasing overall operational efficiency and extended the lifespan of machinery.
