Top SchoolRichter Lau is a software engineer based in New York with nine years' experience building full-stack web applications using React, Redux, TypeScript, Node/Express and both SQL and NoSQL databases. He combines production-grade engineering—publishing an npm package and implementing AST parsing, D3 visualizations, and Cypress E2E tests—with a background in market risk analytics, where he automated reporting and refactored monitoring tools to cut processing time by 80%. An advocate for modern React patterns, he recently presented on React Hooks in a public speaker series and maintains an active GitHub portfolio. Richter favors pragmatic, test-driven solutions that scale for teams, and brings a rare mix of finance-domain rigor and open-source-driven developer tooling to product development.
