Gustavo Ricou is a pragmatic software engineer with six years of experience building resilient backend and full‑stack systems, currently contributing to BoscaSports in Galway. He brings a strong blend of production-grade engineering—React, Node/Express, Docker, AWS, MongoDB—and a data‑driven mindset shaped by roles in Trust & Safety and sampling quality at TikTok, where he used Python and SQL for statistical analysis and improved quality metrics substantially. Gustavo has a track record of hardening APIs and automating CI/CD workflows, increasing test coverage and reliability across projects from Datto to Invertase/Firebase. His background in fusion research and computational physics gives him uncommon expertise in numerical analysis and performance-sensitive systems, which he leverages to optimize monitoring and reduce false positives. A hands-on mentor and automation advocate, he routinely ships reusable components and testing infrastructure that speed team delivery and reduce operational toil.
