Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRiccardo De Leo is a senior software engineer and pragmatic technology leader with over a decade of experience building and operating PHP-first systems (Laravel, Symfony) while championing DDD and TDD practices. He has held CTO and principal engineering roles driving secure, compliant production environments (OWASP, PCI-DSS) and scaling teams and architectures from monoliths to microservices and API-driven headless frontends. Comfortable across the stack, he pairs backend PHP expertise with Node.js, Vue.js, Docker, Kubernetes and Terraform, and brings hands-on SRE and infrastructure experience including Proxmox VM provisioning and advanced Linux operations. Riccardo is an advocate for code quality tooling (phpstan, php-cs, phpmd), a long-time adopter of CI/CD, and prefers to follow product lifecycles end-to-end — from requirements and integrations to reliable, monitored operations. He combines a “go and get it” attitude with practical management experience in Agile/SCRUM environments, frequently translating business needs into low-bug, auditable software. An unusual background in nursing-trained discipline and a hobbyist interest in C, Scala and Python give him a broad, methodical perspective on systems and teams.
