# About

I’m Alexandre Joly, a French design engineer based in Geneva, Switzerland. I work where design meets code: I draw an interface, then build it, animate it and keep polishing it until it feels right. I work in French and English.

## Path

I studied web design in Limoges, France, then started as a web developer at ABProd in Châteauroux. There I built the interfaces of ordering kiosks for Burger King, and that is where UI animation hooked me.

In 2018 I joined [Yoojo](https://yoojo.com), a Swiss platform to book help at home, as its front-end developer and UI/UX designer. I lead UI and UX across the website and the mobile app, look after the brand, and take features from first concept to production. I also created Simplr, Yoojo’s design system, from scratch: one set of components and icons, in Figma and in code, shared by React and React Native.

## On the side

Outside Yoojo I build my own products and maintain open-source work: React libraries, the shadcn/ui components on this site and [agent skills](https://www.skills.sh/alexdemzz/skills). The [home page](https://alexandrejoly.me/) lists what I’m working on now.

## Recognition

Each of my portfolios is rebuilt from scratch, and they have received awards from CSS Design Awards and Awwwards since 2018. The source of this one is [public on GitHub](https://github.com/AlexDemzz/alexandrejoly.me).
