Teksystems/Williams Somona
Overview
At TEKsystems, I joined a specialized R&D team within Williams-Sonoma to prototype next-gen ecommerce features. My role centered around rapid experimentation, A/B testing, and UI instrumentation for analytics across four major retail brands.
My Role
- Prototyped and A/B tested experimental ecommerce features using React, accelerating the experimentation cycle by 15%.
- Co-developed a Gift Splitting feature from concept to production, boosting cart conversions by an estimated 8–12%.
- Built a real-time pub/sub analytics system for the Cross-Brand Registry, enabling session-level tracking of 25+ UI components.
- Developed adaptive test components for product pages that dynamically adjusted layouts using inventory data and CSS Grid.
- Reduced mobile bounce rates by 10–15% by refactoring the Store Locator with responsive layouts and modern CSS patterns.
- Wrote and maintained unit tests across five brand codebases in Jest, reducing visual regressions by 30% sprint-over-sprint.
Skills Acquired
- React-based A/B testing and experimentation tooling
- Session-based UI analytics with pub/sub architecture
- Mobile-first design and responsive layout engineering
- Unit testing strategy and cross-brand code management
- Cross-functional prototyping in fast-paced retail environments
Impact
My work at TEKsystems helped unlock behavioral insights through real-time analytics, while also directly influencing checkout UX and overall mobile performance. These experiments shaped the roadmap for user-centered features across Williams-Sonoma’s digital properties.
