À propos de Rico

I build and modernize backend systems that are built to scale and easy to maintain. I help companies move away from "black box" legacy code toward high-performance, observable architectures. Whether you need to scale a high-throughput event system or migrate a complex legacy backend, I deliver production-ready solutions that your team can actually manage after the project ends.

What I bring to your project:

JVM Modernization: I design and implement new services or carve out legacy pieces using Java, Kotlin, and Spring Boot, focusing on clear domain logic and reliability.

Event-Driven & Scale: Deep expertise in Kafka for service integration and building high-throughput architectures that don't break under pressure.

Cloud-Native Infrastructure: I don’t just write code; I own the deployment. I build Kubernetes setups, write Helm charts, and create custom automation in Go.

Real-Time & Fault Tolerance: For low-latency needs, I leverage Elixir (Phoenix) or Scala to ensure your system remains responsive and 100% fault-tolerant.

How I work:
I take full end-to-end ownership of a problem. From clarifying requirements and proposing the architecture to implementation, testing, and documentation—you get a professional handover with no technical debt left behind.
