Hi, I'm Arjan Cordia

Hi! I'm Arjan. For over a decade, I've been architecting software, web applications, and interactive systems. My passion lies in taking complex, messy problems and turning them into clean, scalable systems.

Currently, I work as a **Design System Engineer at UWV (Dutch Government)**, crafting framework-agnostic component libraries using **StencilJS**, **Web Components**, and **React**. I specialize in creating accessible, enterprise-grade design systems and frontend platforms that empower multi-disciplinary engineering teams to ship faster with confidence. (Explore the interactive Storybook Component Catalog built for this site).

Beyond design systems, my background spans **full-stack architecture (.NET, C#, Azure, Node.js)** and **commercial game development** (including Nintendo Switch releases). My game dev background gives me a distinct edge: I treat UI performance, state synchronization, and component lifecycles with the rigor of real-time game engines.

When I'm not building systems or writing code, you'll find me on a skateboard. It's a true test of persistence—learning how to solve hard problems through endless iteration, trial, and error.
