Summary
Ricky Bacci is a pragmatic full-stack software developer with 11 years of experience building web and backend solutions, from Ruby on Rails customer tools to Dockerized microservices and React Native mobile features. He blends hands-on infrastructure and DevOps know-how—Elasticsearch/Logstash, AWS, OpenShift—with practical database and UI work, and has deployed production apps to Heroku and managed remote SQL Server access. A former firefighter/paramedic of 23 years, he brings calm under pressure, strong troubleshooting instincts, and a knack for turning messy, real-world processes into accurate, searchable record systems. Self-taught and Turing-trained, Ricky excels at finding authoritative information to solve obscure technical problems and enjoys mentoring through collaborative development rather than solo hacking.
