Ricardo Castillo is a seasoned technical leader and CTO with over a decade of hands-on experience building backend systems primarily with Node.js and AWS, alongside fluency in Python, Java, and .NET. He blends startup founding experience with corporate delivery—co-founding ventures like Patagon Labs and BetBack while leading releases and backend design at Perficient and Namutek—demonstrating both product and operational ownership. Ricardo has repeatedly scaled teams and architectures across microservices, serverless and containerized environments, and also teaches backend development and MongoDB, showing a commitment to developer enablement. An active community builder, he co-founded ProinChile and helps organize JSConf Chile, reflecting deep involvement in cultivating local JavaScript talent. He combines pragmatic engineering (Redis, PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, Docker) with release orchestration and cloud architecture, making him equally effective in strategy and hands-on execution. One less obvious strength: he frequently moves between roles as founder, educator and release owner, which gives him rare perspective on shaping product direction while keeping delivery predictable.
