TJ Pitre

I am a frontend engineer, design system architect, and founder of Southleft. For two decades, I have been helping product teams transform complex interfaces into reliable, scalable systems compatible with various brands, platforms, and teams. I enjoy creating interfaces that are both flexible and resilient. In recent years, I've been focused on how artificial intelligence can accelerate the journey from design to development. I create generative UI prototypes and tools that help teams build real interfaces based on design systems, verify the correctness of tokens and component structures, and maintain high-quality standards with less cost. I regularly share this experience through demos, talks, and collaborative projects, exploring how AI enhances existing digital product creation processes. I live in New Orleans with my wife and three children. When I'm not working on a new project, you can find me in the kitchen, workshop, or searching for the next exciting idea.
