Hi, I'm
Hanane Zlitni
Senior Software Engineer. Frontend at heart, systems in mind.
I own features end to end, from ambiguous requirements through architecture, implementation, and delivery. Frontend is my foundation, product is my lens, and I own it through the stack. I look for the kind of problems that actually challenge me.
Where I've worked
Senior Software Engineer, Software Updates
Ford Motor CompanyRemoteI lead development of complex, stateful features for the in-vehicle Software Updates experience, deployed to 1M+ vehicles worldwide. I write the documentation for our features and shape their test strategies. I work with Product, Design, Backend, and QA from planning through release, so everyone shares the same picture of what a feature depends on and what it needs from other teams. I'm also the technical owner of an internal observability platform, used organization-wide to track platform stability and performance. Beyond my technical work, I advocated for bringing engineering into feature planning earlier, which reduced late-stage rework. I also mentor engineers at all levels and represented my team in technical demos for other teams.
Software Engineer, Software Updates
Ford Motor CompanyRemoteI joined the Software Updates team and shipped features that had to work within backend constraints, working with Product, Design, QA, and Backend along the way. Over time I moved from building features to changing how we build them. I led the migration from Redux and class components to custom hooks and functional React, raised test coverage to 80%+, and conducted regular reviews of designs in Figma against the implemented UI to ensure adherance to Ford's design language.
Frontend Engineer, UX and Design Systems
Bell CanadaRemoteI was a hybrid engineer-designer in a UX design team, turning user research and Figma prototypes into production apps. I built a Storybook component library with accessibility standards built in, and worked on a range of internal tools, including a mobile web app for field technicians and a capital forecasting dashboard.
