PROFILE
Mackenzie Bowes
Mackenzie Bowes developed a unified visual design system and robust development environment for the BuildCanada/CanadaSpends repository over two months. They implemented a comprehensive theming architecture using CSS, Tailwind CSS, and TypeScript, introducing a new color system and consistent palettes for charts and maps. Mackenzie also established Docker-based deployment tooling and a TypeScript/Nix setup to streamline local development and maintenance. In January, they refreshed the brand theme by updating the color palette across CSS variables, HTML, and JSX, aligning the UI with new branding guidelines. Their work improved UI consistency, accelerated feature delivery, and reduced technical debt in the codebase.
