Top SchoolBill Lazar is a staff software engineer with 16 years of experience specializing in expressive, flexible web UIs for power users—developer tools, API-driven products, and highly interactive dashboards. He combines hands-on front-end expertise (React, TypeScript, Angular, Backbone, Sass) with a product-minded background that includes product management, technical support leadership at Sun Microsystems, and startup consulting. Bill has shipped customer-facing UX for large-scale analytics platforms and ad/commerce products, and has repeatedly bridged UX, PM and backend teams to turn complex workflows into usable interfaces. His career blends deep technical craft with customer-facing roles—marketing, community, and customer success—giving him a rare empathy for both users and operators. Based in Faro, Portugal, he thrives on revitalizing content- and commerce-oriented sites and building tools that invite customization and long-term engagement. An early career decade of multi-language business app development underpins his practical, cross-stack problem solving.
