Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRicardo Malta is an engineering lead based in Lisbon with over a decade of experience building scalable, high-performance internet systems and leading teams from hands-on development to reliable production delivery. He began as a systems administrator on Microsoft stacks and evolved into a polyglot software engineer and SRE who favors Linux, Node.js and Go, with strong expertise in cloud-native tooling (Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, Terraform) and GCP/Azure deployments. Ricardo combines deep technical skills in architecture, performance tuning and distributed systems with practiced soft skills in team management, release coordination and empathetic leadership that prioritizes team well-being. He has repeatedly transitioned between roles—consultant, backend lead, SRE and engineering lead—demonstrating versatility and a bias for learning new technologies quickly. Known for focusing on real value propositions, he pairs pragmatic engineering with testing-driven practices (TDD/BDD, CI/CD) to deliver durable solutions. An understated detail: his background in low-level system ops informs a rare blend of operational rigor and developer-first architecture choices.
