Summary
Ricardo Diaz is an engineering executive with over 25 years of hands-on software development and more than a decade leading and mentoring teams, currently serving as Executive Director of Engineering. He combines deep TDD/BDD discipline with modern full-stack practice—React, TypeScript, Docker, C#, microservices and Cypress—to build reliable, scalable products and developer-friendly platforms. Ricardo has repeatedly scaled orgs and systems, from growing a single team into five distributed teams to architecting multi-tenant backends serving millions and automating microservice provisioning with internal tooling. He’s equally comfortable shaping product vision with CTOs and Product teams as he is shipping CI/CD, OAuth2 auth services, and migration strategies that reduce operational risk. Based in Canton, GA, he brings a pragmatic focus on developer enablement and automation—often surfacing behind-the-scenes efficiencies like custom PowerShell cmdlets and build-server rewrites that accelerate delivery.
