Top SchoolRichard Coo is a Platform Backend Engineer with 11 years of experience building resilient, production-grade Node.js systems and integrations, currently focused on reusable Nx/Nest.js modules for Shopify syncs. He thrives in Agile teams that embrace TDD, CI/CD, and DevOps, and has a strong track record solving scale, race-condition, and OOM issues across e-commerce, fintech, and referral/loyalty platforms.
