Hi, I’m Wasim.

I’m a product and design engineer in London. I build for the web with TypeScript and React, and I care about the bits that are easy to skip: accessibility, performance, and animation that actually feels smooth.

Lately I’ve been making a reading app for classic novels, a Fantasy Premier League lab and some devtools. I also ran a study on whether design systems make government websites more accessible. Short version: they seem to help, a lot.

Do design systems actually help with accessibility?

I looked at 18,547 government websites in the US and UK. Sites built properly on a design system had about half as many of the accessibility problems automated tools can catch. I wrote the whole method down before touching the UK data, and the result held up there too.

Violations on sites built on a design system, compared with sites that aren’tUS estimate 0.50, UK estimate 0.56, both with 95% confidence intervals below 1, meaning fewer detected accessibility violations.0.40.60.81.0 (no difference)US, 12,252 sites0.50UK, 6,295 sites0.56

Do design systems actually deliver on accessibility?I tested the claim on 18,500 government websites in two countries. Sites built on a design system showed about half the accessibility violations, and the result survived every attempt I made to break it.
