About Burton Smith
I am a technical lead at Microsoft working with design systems and web components.
I am also the creator of various open-source projects like Kickstand UI (a design system built with web components - kickstand-ui.com) and Clarion (a style framework for managing design systems - projectclarion.com).
In my free time, I love spending time with my wife and three daughters, practicing martial arts, jamming on my ukulele, and learning new things (usually about software engineering).
