Ricardo Arcila is a Senior Software Engineer based in London with 11 years of experience building scalable, cloud-native systems across biotech, telecom and fintech domains. He has a strong backend focus—shipping services in Java/Spring, Go and Python (FastAPI)—and a knack for tying distributed pipelines together using Kafka, Docker, Kubernetes and AWS. At EMBL-EBI he combined API design, ETL tooling and front-end work for public scientific services, and led CI/CD and Scrum adoption to improve delivery cadence. His background includes high-availability flight and mobile-core systems and hands-on data integrity work synchronizing Oracle and Elasticsearch at scale. Colleagues describe him as a fast learner and effective communicator who moves smoothly between research-driven products and production engineering. An underrated asset is his cross-stack fluency: he routinely bridges backend services, data pipelines and user-facing frontends to deliver end-to-end solutions.
