Cinco

Cinco was LinkedIn’s enterprise-wide intranet portal. It featured employee and seat-location searching, org charts, internal-document searching, company announcements, calendaring, and other media and resource sharing. Around 2024-2025 it was decomissioned and its main features were replaced largely by Glean internal integration.

Tech Stack & My Contributions

Backbone.Marionette

Among various bug fixes and UI enhancements I helped develop:

• reusable Behaviors & Modules to handle broken images and animate drawer (calendar item) elements.
• animated, accessible, responsive UI for widgets (Groups, Alerts, iFrame).
• actions triggered by messaging from Adobe CQ iFrame (see CQ below).

Adobe AEM (CQ)

In AEM/CQ I created various animated, accessible UI for components:

• FAQ & Campus accordions
• subnav scrolling (scroll points) & mobile menu
• responsive carousel
• several layout components & page templates

I developed messaging to iFrame parent to communicate to Backbone.

• iFrame height, eliminating inner scroll bars and allowing fully responsive layout
• scroll point messaging for scrolling effects
• current-page meta to apply active state to corresponding nav icon

I integrated piwik analytics tracking for videos and created components with Sightly templating logic.

Accessibility

I addressed accessibility for:

• Cinco alerts. The screen reader announces the alert severity and message upon display (aggressive).
• animated components (drawers, accordions, carousel). Set proper focus. Descriptive groups.
• other detailed areas throughout the site, making all of Cinco a11y-conformant.
