   Infinity Design System

   I've rebooted the existing Design System, moving away from a React approach to a framework-agnostic design system based on stencil. This approach will allow the Design System to be used with any FrontEnd Framework. Additionally, I converted all the existing components into web components and defined the existing branching strategy, making it easier for the team to work together. During this process, I also supported the sales team in preparing live demos to be presented to potential customers. I was responsible for making all the technical decisions and helped define the team's workload.
