Lucas Caixeta

I’m a technical lead and front-end engineer. For 13 years I’ve built products for the web, mostly with React and TypeScript. Today I lead the technical side of a large consumer platform, and I care about design systems, clear architecture and helping teams do their best work.

What I do

Leading teams

I set technical direction and help teams deliver across markets. That means architecture decisions, connecting the work of different teams, and planning migrations away from legacy services.

Building platforms

Day to day I work with React, TypeScript and NestJS in a micro-frontend monorepo. The flows I build cover registration, identity verification and OTP for field teams.

Design systems and quality

I’ve built component libraries with Storybook and Bit.dev, written tests with React Testing Library and worked with CI/CD at Cazoo, Tamanna and in my current role.
