About Ricardo

Senior Java Backend Developer with 12+ years of experience building scalable, reliable systems using Java 8+ and the Spring ecosystem (Spring Boot, Security, Data). Specialized in designing and delivering robust REST APIs, domain-driven architectures, and high-performance backend services in regulated and data-rich environments (healthcare, mobility/automotive, hospitality).

Strong expertise with JPA/Hibernate, relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL), and modern engineering practices such as TDD(JUnit, Mockito), Clean Architecture, and microservices. Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions) and containerization with Docker.

I have led migrations from legacy monoliths to modular, maintainable service architectures, improving scalability, performance, and long-term sustainability. In addition to development, I deliver technical leadership through mentoring and corporate Spring Boot training programs.

Official JetBrains Content Creator and creator of the YouTube channel *Programando en Java* (20K+ subscribers, 1.6M+ views), combining deep technical expertise with strong communication skills.
