Ricardo Erikson is a Senior Software Engineer based in Amsterdam with over a decade of hands-on experience building cloud-native, distributed systems and full-stack web applications. He specializes in backend development with Golang and Python (Flask, Pandas, SQLAlchemy) while maintaining strong front-end skills in JavaScript/TypeScript with Angular and React. Ricardo has shipped microservices and high-traffic APIs for fintech and healthcare clients, led cloud migrations and CI/CD initiatives on AWS and GCP, and built production-grade deployments with Docker and Kubernetes. His academic background (Ph.D. focused on recommender systems) informs a data-driven approach to architecture and algorithmic features, and he has applied that rigor in both research and algorithmic trading projects. Comfortable as an individual contributor or technical lead, he combines deep technical breadth with practical experience designing event-based and synchronous microservice platforms. An unusual blend of Ph.D.-level research, trading experimentation, and extensive production Golang work gives him a unique perspective on building reliable, data-informed systems.
