Richard Lopes is a Frontend Engineer with 11 years of experience building frontend-heavy fullstack products across startups and scale-ups in Brazil. He specializes in scalable front-end architecture, performance optimization, and responsive design, having led large migrations (React 15→16, JS→TypeScript) and implemented micro-frontends and SSR at iFood. Richard combines hands-on UI craftsmanship—Storybook-driven components, advanced CSS micro-interactions, accessibility and dark/light modes—with cross-functional leadership, mentoring, and code review discipline. He has a track record of integrating frontends with CMS and CRM systems, automating developer workflows with productivity bots, and authoring reusable code libraries to speed delivery. Based in São Paulo, he pairs a computer science background with a practical focus on developer experience and maintainability, often leveraging fake backends and sophisticated testing to decouple teams and accelerate iteration.
