AWS CodeCatalyst was Amazon's next-generation developer platform, a unified environment bringing together source control, CI/CD, project management, and team collaboration into a single, integrated experience. As the sole designer on the workflow automation feature, I led the end-to-end design of CodeCatalyst's CI/CD pipeline experience from 0-1, one of the platform's most complex and technically demanding areas.
Developers and DevOps engineers needed to create, configure, run, and troubleshoot automated workflows without getting lost in technical complexity. Existing AWS developer tools had significant usability gaps, and CodeCatalyst represented a fundamental rethink of how developers could work across the full software delivery lifecycle.
I drove the process from customer research and design principles workshops through multiple rounds of prototyping and usability testing, ultimately shipping a dual-mode experience — a visual workflow builder and YAML editor — that let users work in whichever mode matched their expertise, with clear status tracking and inline troubleshooting throughout.
