Glue — Google marketing sites library

Note: Since a lot of what I do is bound by a non-disclosure agreement, I am barred from sharing confidential information

Background

Brand Studio is Google's internal think tank that uses creativity, media, and technology to create experiences that connect Google products to the people who use them.

As a contractor via Cybage, I worked on Glue — Google's internal TypeScript library that powers 2000+ marketing websites. Hundreds of developers use it to ship Google-branded sites at scale.

Work

Building and maintaining Glue meant shipping features, keeping the library healthy, and supporting teams who depend on it every day.

• Extending Glue to match product and design requirements
  • New components
  • Modular structure so code can be reused across sites
  • Build, test, and release cycles
  • Bug fixes and ongoing maintenance
• Documentation for developers building on Glue
• Working with design on both developer and end-user experience
• Accessibility so sites work for everyone

I also supported developers using Glue across Google marketing sites — debugging, guidance, and making the library better for the people who ship with it.

Technologies used:

• TypeScript, SCSS, HTML5, EJS, Markdown
• Jasmine, Karma
• Google Cloud Platform

Results

The following websites are just some of the thousand more websites that utilise the power of the library that i am fortunate to be a part of.
