Workday DevCon Attendee Experience
A developer-focused event system adapted for technical sessions, hackathon workflows, and real-time programming
Workday DevCon brings together developers for hands-on sessions, technical breakouts, and a live hackathon. Instead of building a separate experience, DevCon ran on the same attendee platform used for Workday Rising.
My work focused on adapting that system for a more technical audience—tuning components and live-state behaviors so developer content remained clear, scannable, and easy to navigate without adding complexity. This kept both major Workday events aligned on a single, scalable foundation while supporting DevCon’s distinct programming.
Key Screens
A two-year evolution of the event experience as patterns, content, and brand direction matured.
2024 Foundation
Early foundations refined into cleaner, more consistent system patterns across phases.
2025 Evolution
Refined layouts aligned with the evolving brand system and adapted for DevCon’s developer-focused experience.
What I contributed
- Strengthened UX/UI to improve clarity, hierarchy, and consistency
- Evolved layout and interaction patterns to scale across use cases
- Translated stakeholder needs into UI solutions that could ship reliably
- Collaborated with PM, engineering, and client leads to align on feasibility and intent
- Applied evolving brand system direction across surfaces
- Defined repeatable patterns that reduced reliance on one-off screens
- Validated design direction against platform limits and live-event realities
- Tuned visual structure to improve readability and reduce noise
What Changed
- One-off yearly builds → multi-event foundation (Rising + DevCon)
- Cluttered, inconsistent surfaces → clearer UI that scaled with content
- Ad-hoc styling → a cohesive, repeatable visual system
- Fragmented alignment → tighter design–engineering collaboration
- Fragile flows → extendable patterns teams could trust
