Summary
Ricardo Julio is a System Architect and seasoned software engineer with 11 years of experience designing backend systems in C#/.NET, microservices, and clean architecture while also contributing frontend work in React and CI/CD on AWS. Currently at Hexagon Mining, he architects and coordinates autonomous truck missions, blending embedded systems, ROS and DDS with scalable server-side design to drive fully autonomous mining workflows. He holds an MSc and is a PhD candidate in Electrical Engineering, bringing research depth in VANETs, LSTM-based sensor optimization and a sustained interest in ML and robotics that informs practical system trade-offs. Known for pragmatic application of SOLID principles and automated testing, he moves seamlessly between hands-on development, technical leadership and translating complex domain requirements into readable, maintainable architectures. An often-overlooked strength is his academic-to-industry bridge: publishing research-grade approaches to reduce data transmissions that directly influence robust, resource-aware distributed systems.
