Summary
Richard Hayes is a software developer with 11 years of experience combining front-end craftsmanship and full-stack engineering across large tech firms and creative projects. He has contributed to developer tooling at Microsoft (Visual Studio Profiler and diagnostics) and delivered production software at Google before focusing on React, TypeScript, Tailwind, and Figma-driven front-end work at QCI. Based in San Francisco, he blends a disciplined, systems-oriented background from the Canadian Armed Forces with a creative streak as a programmer-artist and runner, which informs pragmatic, user-focused designs. His tooling experience spans C#, Sqlite, JavaScript, and CSS, enabling him to move between low-level diagnostics and polished UI experiences. Educated in computer science with additional certificates from Wolfram Summer School and freeCodeCamp, he brings both formal theory and self-directed learning to ship reliable features. He’s equally comfortable prototyping visualizations (including HoloLens work as a Microsoft Garage intern) and iterating on production front ends.
