Spotify Wrapped
Role: Front End Developer
While at Active Theory, I built the artist and podcaster-facing Spotify Wrapped web experience that millions of creators used to view their year-end listening stats and share them across social platforms.
Dynamic, state-driven animations
Hydra had internal methods that made the data-driven experience dynamic and modular. The presence or absence of Artist data would update the experience, and all UI elements would update automatically, which created a seamless user experience for bigger artists and ones just starting out.
HTML canvas share cards
I built the canvas-based generator that produced the downloadable share cards. Artist and podcaster data was composited to an HTML Canvas as typography, imagery, and stat data that was then exported as a PNG that the user could then download and share on social media. This experience was localized across 15+ languages which required deep QA to ensure wrapping, text direction, and sizing was consistent for all users.
