Top SchoolRicardo Quesada is a product-focused software engineer with a decade of experience building client-side systems and shipping across mobile, games, and firmware domains. Now at Google in the Bay Area, he has led architecture and engineering teams—from Chief Architect at Chukong to Distinguished Engineer roles at Zynga—and has a history of solo-product work creating widely used iOS tools like cocos2d and LevelSVG. His contributions to low-level projects such as coreboot show hands-on expertise with firmware event logging and tooling, bridging embedded systems and developer utilities. Trained in industrial engineering and computer science in Buenos Aires, he blends systems thinking with pragmatic product delivery and a knack for reorganizing legacy code to make tools more accessible.

Contributions summary:Ricardo primarily contributed to the coreboot firmware project by refactoring and reorganizing code related to the Event Log (ELOG) system. They moved ELOG-related definitions, structures, and functions, including timestamp and checksum calculations, into the `commonlib/bsd` directory to make them accessible to utility tools. Furthermore, they implemented an `elogtool` that allows for listing, clearing, and adding entries to the event log. This work involved direct interaction with the firmware's internal logging mechanisms and the associated tools for managing and interpreting system events.
