I'm Tim Hunold, a Senior UX/UI/Front-End Architect with 25 years delivering high-profile websites and apps for Google, Adobe, NBCUniversal, FOX, Bose, and many others. I’ve led teams up to 150 developers, defined technical baselines and WCAG standards, managed testing, QA, and reporting, and worked across UX/UI, CMS, and backend fundamentals in modern front-end ecosystems. My hands-on expertise spans Angular, React, Node.js, AWS, CI/CD, and scalable component libraries, with a strong focus on accessible, responsive experiences. Currently I work as a consultant, refactoring complex portals and building reusable Angular components for public and enterprise portals, while documenting and standardizing libraries used across studios. I’m seeking Lead, Mentor, or Management roles (but not Full-Stack) where I can leverage cross-domain experience from government, entertainment, and tech to mentor teams, shape design systems, and drive innovative, accessible digital experiences.
