Barmer Puls Design System

IBM iX / Barmer

Senior Frontend Developer

Contributed (via IBM iX) to Barmer Puls, the cross-platform design system and component library underpinning Barmer's digital products on web and mobile.

Areas of contribution

  • Core components: Foundational form, list and menu components with cross-platform behaviour.
  • Theming: Reliable on-the-fly switching between light and dark themes across all components.
  • Inputs: Label, border and background handling across input states and resilient phone-input behaviour.
  • Menu system: Scrollable menus with automatic repositioning across viewport sizes and zoom levels.
  • Developer experience: Documentation site and component playground orchestration; package-version visibility for QA.
  • Ref forwarding: Internal refactor of ref handling for consistency across components.

Internal implementation details and vendor choices of the client remain confidential. The list below covers general technologies I worked with on this engagement.
