Top SchoolRick Beton is a seasoned software engineer with 11+ years building high-performance, highly available systems using cloud-provisioned microservices, clustered architectures and low-latency backends. He is fluent across Go, Scala, Kotlin, Java and C++, with deep experience in multithreaded programming, networking, SQL/NoSQL and front-end frameworks like Vue and React. Rick has repeatedly joined greenfield and rescue projects—leading design and quality improvements, eliminating race conditions, and mentoring less-experienced Go engineers to raise team capability. His background spans fintech, ad-tech, banking and telecom (including recent 5G C++ work), demonstrating an ability to move between domains while preserving testability and operational robustness. Pragmatic and hands-on, he combines TDD and pair programming practices with a history of contributing to open source and internal infrastructure (e.g. custom high-performance reverse-proxying at HMRC).
