James Ritchie is a founder and product-driven front-end engineer with 11 years of experience building consumer and developer-facing products from London. He leads Trigger.dev, an open-source background jobs and AI infrastructure platform, and contributes hands-on to its React UI—refactoring components, improving UX, and adding dark mode across the codebase. Previously he led product at Snap-backed Solve and consumer app Spoof, and ran a design & development studio that shipped notable mobile games and interactive experiences. His background in MA Communication Design and long history as a design lead give him a rare blend of product intuition and practical engineering discipline. Colleagues will notice he still prefers shipping polished interfaces himself rather than delegating every UI detail.
