Top SchoolRikki B is a Senior Frontend Developer and technical lead based in Melbourne with over 15 years of experience building accessible, high-performance design systems for government and education. As Product Owner and principal architect of the Mixtape design system, they built a React + TypeScript component library and theming architecture that serves multiple large public-sector sites with millions of users. They combine a formal design background with deep engineering practice to bridge visual design, UX and robust frontend architecture, and have intentionally embedded accessibility (WCAG) and CI-driven testing into platform foundations. A recognised speaker and mentor, Rikki has driven organisation-wide frontend standards, introduced modern tooling like Vitest and React Query, and teaches backend teams frontend best practices.
