Hi, I'm Rico!

I am a Senior Software Engineer specialising in backend systems, APIs, and integration platforms connecting CMS, CRM, and external services. I combine practical engineering with a strategic perspective to design solutions that are reliable, maintainable, and deliver real impact for clients in Australia and internationally.

I thrive on building and delivering complex systems, collaborating closely with product, design, and engineering teams to deliver high-quality, scalable solutions. I’m a problem-solver who can help teams navigate complex challenges and keep projects on track. I love working with AI and modern technologies, exploring and applying them daily to enhance workflows, integrations, and overall product quality.
