Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRicky Pike is a pragmatic software engineer with roughly 17–20 years of multi-platform experience building and maintaining POS, monitoring, and remote-administration systems. He blends low-level C/C++ and embedded work with modern cloud-native tooling—C# and MS stacks on Windows, Go on Linux, Docker/Kubernetes deployments, and Helm charts. At NCR he authors secure, PCI-compliant remote-management tooling and is the primary maintainer of an open-source Nagios/Sensu Go utilities suite. A longtime tinkerer and problem solver, he prototypes hardware and home-lab projects (Raspberry Pi thermocouple interfaces, Arduino drivers, KVM virtual servers, IPv6 home networks) and uses strong documentation habits to make systems easier for successors. Comfortable leading migrations and troubleshooting systems in the field, he has repeatedly been the go-to resource for C/C++ and Linux tasks on cross-functional teams. Based in Fort Worth, he values security best practices (YubiKey, TOTP) and publishes several niche open-source tools used in production and research.
