About Ricky

SRE Manager, Leader and Engineer.


With a robust background in IT Infrastructure and DevOps, complemented by leadership and team management experience, as well as significant exposure to security and corporate IT, I bring a broad range of expertise to cross-functional organizations. My holistic approach brings about an environment where teams are empowered to excel, operational efficiency is driven, and creates a culture of self-improvement and collaboration. My strong passion for team mentoring, combined with a proven track record in ensuring employee satisfaction, significantly contributes to the retention of high-performing team members.


Drawing on my experience as an accomplished engineer I am not only able to bridge the gap between technical and management roles, but can also drive smart solutions and inspire the trust and confidence of my team. My background allows me and my teams to approach problems with a solution-oriented mindset, fostering an environment of technical excellence, innovation, and continuous improvement.
