Design Engineering Basics with Vaibhav Shukla

AI has changed what it means to be a product designer.

You don't need to become a frontend engineer.

But if you understand how products are actually built, components, props, state, APIs, repositories, Git, design systems, frontend architecture, you can design better, collaborate better with engineers, and increasingly ship things yourself.

This is a practical workshop on Design Engineering for Product Designers.

We'll go from understanding the engineering language designers should know to navigating a real codebase and using Cursor + Claude Code to make production-style changes inside an existing repository.

No random vibe coding.

The goal is to teach you how to think and work inside a real product codebase.
