Summary
Ricky Courtes is a senior UX developer based in Los Angeles with a decade of experience designing and building polished, accessible interfaces across web, mobile, and native React Native platforms. He blends hands-on front-end engineering—TypeScript, React, React Native, HTML5/CSS3/Sass, Jest—with UX tooling like Adobe XD to turn wireframes into performant, test-covered components for iOS, Android, and web. At Travel Nurse Across America he leads complex UI features and advocates for engineering needs while collaborating closely with product and design to improve usability and delivery. Previously he ran UI/UX and front-end efforts at CSUSB, maintaining design systems, implementing Drupal/WordPress themes, and automating production workflows—an example of solving design problems with code. Known for bringing simplicity to complex interactions, he also has a history of building practical automation (e.g., XML/Indesign tooling) that hints at a knack for bridging design and engineering.
