Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolLloyd Richards is a Zurich-based Interaction Engineer with six years of experience building data-centric web platforms that blend elegant design, systems thinking, and environmental purpose. He specializes in fullstack development with Next.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL and D3-powered visualizations, and has owned technical architecture, component libraries and API integrations across client projects. His background as a regenerative garden designer and international hands-on roles—from baker to bamboo builder—informs a pragmatic, sustainability-first approach to product design. Lloyd has led cross-disciplinary teams to translate complex environmental sensor and beekeeping data into usable dashboards and design systems. Constantly curious, he treats his personal site as an experimental portfolio where he prototypes ideas that sit at the intersection of ecology, UX and interactive data.
