Senior🎓
Top SchoolRicardo Ferreira is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience building and hardening distributed systems, DBMS internals, and replication solutions for enterprise databases. He currently contributes to EDB’s Bi-Directional Replication for PostgreSQL after leading replication and Group Replication efforts at Oracle MySQL, bringing deep C/C++/Java expertise across UNIX-like platforms and kernel-adjacent work. His background spans embedded telecom systems, cloud storage security, and low-level OS integrations—skills that surface in kernel extensions, FUSE filesystems, and performance-sensitive middleware. Comfortable across the stack, he blends systems programming discipline with practical product delivery and a knack for tackling corner cases in high-availability and data-consistency domains. Based in Beja, Portugal, he pairs industrial-grade engineering with an unusual breadth from game and mobile development to DBaaS high-availability features.
