Summary
Rivas Rivas is a Senior Frontend Developer based in Toronto with over a decade of hands-on experience building high-performance, component-driven web applications and design systems. He has led front-end architecture and teams at media and enterprise businesses—shipping products with React, Next.js, TypeScript, GraphQL, Storybook and monorepo tooling like NX while driving migrations (Redux→Zustand) and bundler upgrades (Webpack→Vite) to improve developer experience and runtime performance. Known for setting coding standards, custom ESLint rules, CI/CD pipelines and pragmatic performance profiling, he blends strong UX sensibilities with engineering rigor. He’s mentored numerous engineers, run code-pairing sessions, and introduced testing, E2E and analytics practices across large teams. Practical and unpretentious (“I’m not a programmer, I just code a lot”), he repeatedly delivers market-ready products from scratch under tight timelines.
