Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRichard Bray is a Developer Advocate and educator with 11 years building developer-facing products, teaching code, and shipping full-stack applications across fintech, government services, and startups. He combines hands-on experience with React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js and Haxe with a knack for clear technical communication—his videos and tutorials have reached millions and helped organisations adopt short-form technical storytelling. At Better Stack he scaled developer outreach and social growth, and previously he built systems used by 130+ embassies and a service that legalises over 25,000 PDFs annually. He’s equally comfortable improving legacy SSR apps and designing component systems for large teams, and he often translates complex product features into concise demos and templates others can reuse. Based in Sheffield, he balances production engineering with content creation, continuously experimenting with new languages and formats to make developer learning more accessible.
