**\*SPONSOR\***
Radien, a Seattle-based startup fueled by the Paul Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence, is at the forefront of transforming web interfaces. Despite JavaScript/React's dominance, these technologies often lead to cumbersome, archaic processes, substantial technical debt, and considerable frustration. Radien offers a breakthrough solution by enhancing the visibility of the design system within code through detailed component analytics, coupled with AI-powered tools designed to tackle complex issues like redundant components head-on. Our strategy focuses primarily on significantly reducing technical debt and bolstering design system compliance. This approach not only elevates brand consistency for our clients but also markedly enhances their end-user experience. Interested in learning more? Reach out to rushil@radien.app

We are a vibrant community dedicated to fostering collaboration, knowledge sharing, and networking among professionals and enthusiasts interested in design systems.

The meetup is for people interested in the healthiness and scalability of front-end user interfaces regardless of job title or function.
The meetup frequently welcomes engineers, designers, and product managers alike working across startups, enterprises and social sector organizations.
