Top SchoolRicardo Portugal is a Principal Software Engineer with 14 years of experience building scalable web and platform systems, currently based in Reading, UK. He specializes in GraphQL, TypeScript, Node and React, and has led GraphQL adoption and large-scale migrations for enterprises like Sky, Hilton and Marriott.
