PROFILE
Ilkay
Ilkay Hamit focused on modernizing design token management within the Skyscanner/backpack-foundations repository, addressing both technical debt and future scalability. Over two months, Ilkay removed deprecated color tokens and reorganized color definitions using JavaScript, SCSS, and TypeScript, aligning the codebase with current design standards. The work included introducing a shadowColor token for cross-format consistency and adding automated tests to prevent regression, which improved UI theming reliability across platforms. By consolidating token files and standardizing token lifecycles, Ilkay reduced maintenance overhead and minimized token drift, demonstrating a methodical approach to frontend development and code refactoring in a collaborative environment.

Jul 1, 2025July 2025: Focused on token modernization in backpack-foundations to reduce maintenance cost and improve design-system reliability. Implemented Design Token Consolidation and Color Token Reorganization by removing deprecated tokens, reorganizing color definitions across base token files, and introducing shadowColor to ensure consistent theming across formats. This work reduces token drift, minimizes future regressions, and enables faster iteration of UI themes across iOS and Android.

Jun 1, 2025June 2025: Executed targeted cleanup in Skyscanner/backpack-foundations by removing deprecated color tokens from the Web Foundations package (JavaScript and SCSS). This aligns token usage with current design tokens, reduces risk of token drift, and simplifies future theming work. A dedicated test was added to validate token removal and prevent regression. Change captured in commit 9d45b6292e28c018ba75117d0609d0db1f4bea06 (Donburi/don 1767 remove deprecated tokens test (#457)).
