Ricardo Mello is a Senior Developer Advocate and seasoned backend engineer with nine years of experience building and migrating high-throughput Java and Kotlin microservices for banks, e‑commerce and enterprise systems. Currently shaping Java, Kotlin and Spring content at MongoDB, he blends hands‑on production experience with public speaking and technical writing to translate complex integrations into teachable projects and talks. His background includes architecting Kafka‑driven services for C6 Bank’s Pix and investment products, plus legacy-to-microservice migrations and SQS integrations at Magalu. Based in São Paulo and active remotely, he pairs deep backend craftsmanship with developer advocacy skills—often turning real-world payment and persistence challenges into educational demos and reproducible samples. An interesting detail: he combines large‑scale banking payments experience with a public-facing role that focuses on practical, community-oriented Java/Kotlin content.
