Giordano Ricci is a full-stack software engineer with nine years of experience building web platforms and observability tooling, currently based in Lisbon. He spent several years at Grafana Labs advancing Explore and Elasticsearch integrations—adding features like date_nanos support, frozen indices handling, and improved template variable interpolation across multiple data sources. Comfortable across front-end and back-end domains, he has a strong affinity for UNIX/Linux and contributes to open source, focusing on practical, code-quality and accessibility improvements. Now at Garden Computing, he blends systems-level thinking with product-oriented delivery, and his GitHub activity reflects a preference for shipping pragmatic enhancements rather than flashy prototypes.
