Ricardo Dos Santos Pereira is a Principal Software Engineer with 12+ years building distributed, cloud-first systems that process terabytes daily for enterprises. He blends deep infrastructure and systems expertise—AWS, GCP, Kafka, RabbitMQ, myriad databases—and hands-on firmware/electronics experience from IoT projects to architect resilient, autohealing platforms. As an architecture leader he has headed teams and AWS organizations, driving cross-team standards, scalability and cost-optimization across hundreds of VMs and multi-cloud deployments. He pairs full-stack PHP and backend development with low-level electronics and PCB-to-firmware know-how, making him unusually fluent across hardware, embedded software and cloud services. Based in Salamanca, Spain, he’s known for squeezing more performance from existing infrastructure through careful optimization and pragmatic design.
