Overview
Artlist is a creative licensing platform for music, SFX, and footage, used by millions of creators worldwide. As a core frontend contributor at the company, I helped build and scale the platform from an early build to serving 10M+ creators.
This is company work, done as part of the Artlist team, not a personal project. It is included here as a reference for the scale and kind of frontend engineering I do.
What the build involved
- Built the first version of artlist.io and later led the full migration from legacy jQuery to Next.js.
- Architected a scalable frontend stack in TypeScript and React serving millions of users globally.
- Drove test coverage above 90% and cut load times by 40% across core micro-frontends.
Challenges & solutions
Challenge
An early build could not carry a fast-growing marketplace, and load times hurt SEO and conversion.
Solution
A staged migration to Next.js and a scalable component architecture, kept invisible to customers while cutting load times 40%.
