Awards

I can place here a wall of awards that I have won with projects along the years, but the best award is to work every day with some talented people and be able to have a great team with me. That is the real award.

Social

I really like Linkedin as a way to be connected to the world, to learn and share visions with people from other realities. Let's connect.

Ricardo is a complete leader. It is impossible to describe him without working directly with him, he attention he devotes to his team well-being as well as their technological growth (as his own too) is everything you can ask for someone responsible for a team. Ricardo likes to innovate, bring new technologies in order to improve his team's stack, likes to be aware of what is new and is not stuck in the past. In short, working with Ricardo is a pleasure and he is a really great asset in any company. João Borges ● Senior Frontend Developer at Fullsix Portugal in Linkedin
