Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRiccardo Coppola is a staff software engineer based in London with 13+ years delivering full-stack systems that improve developer velocity and product reliability. He excels at quiet, high-leverage improvements—design systems, visual regression testing, server-controlled rendering and live app updates—that reduce duplication, accelerate delivery, and cut legacy usage. At loveholidays he led initiatives that integrated design tooling with engineering (Figma-linked components), enabled cross-platform layout changes without app releases, and championed testing and automation across frontends. He combines hands-on JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Node.js and GraphQL expertise with infrastructure skills in Kubernetes and Terraform, and a strong track record of mentoring and raising engineering standards. Previously he’s led distributed teams at Burberry and Trainline and run a JS-focused consultancy, reflecting both enterprise-scale replatforming experience and product-minded startup craftsmanship. Colleagues know him for solving hard problems at the intersection of design, engineering and tooling, and for preferring durable developer experience wins over flashy features.
