I’m Aaron Shekey. I spent 5 years at Stack Overflow leading our design system, Stacks. You may recognize my name and face from various features like:

  1. Dark mode
  2. High contrast mode
  3. Global theming and navigation
  4. Fonts
  5. Post formatting
  6. Blockquotes
  7. Deprecating mobile views
  8. A light redesign of the user profile and settings
  9. The #1 feature everyone no one has asked for, confetti .

I’m also the co-founder and designer of Hum. I lead the band The Usual Things. I’ve also worked at GitHub and Adobe.
