Hello, I'm

Ricardo Guardiola

About me

I'm a software engineer who likes understanding a system end to end — from the database schema to the pixel on screen. My background spans React/TypeScript and Ruby on Rails in production, plus personal projects built with Python/FastAPI, Java/Spring Boot, PHP/Laravel, Angular, and cloud infrastructure on Cloudflare and Azure. Outside of client work, I run a small homelab just to get my hands dirty with infrastructure — Docker, reverse proxies, the whole setup. I'm currently open to full-time opportunities, ideally on a remote or nearshore team, where I can keep building software that solves real problems.
