Summary
Fred Rivett is a Senior Product Engineer based in London with 11 years of experience building polished, product-focused frontend systems for startups and enterprise clients. He combines a keen eye for design with pragmatic engineering, specialising in systemised, maintainable frontend architectures using React, Vue, TypeScript and modern frameworks. As a founding engineer at Lex and currently shaping the in-app editor at GPTZero, he focuses on turning complex writing and AI experiences into delightful, usable products. He has a track record of shipping dozens of side projects, co-authoring LearningToLaunch.co, and repeatedly stepping into solo-frontend roles to take concepts from wireframe to production. Comfortable in both short-term contracts (BlackRock, Critical Insight) and long-term product ownership, he excels at translating product vision into UI detail and developer-friendly codebases. Colleagues describe him as a design-minded engineer who treats frontend code as a product in its own right, not just a delivery artifact.
