About Me

Former network administrator, sysadmin, and Ruby on Rails developer, Riccardo has been in operations for 20+ years and still likes to spend time coding (better if Ruby). He loves engaging with customers and help them run their operations reliably and successfully in the cloud. Riccardo loves caipirinhas and π· Amarone, playing πΉ piano and ππ»π΄πΏπββοΈ triathlons; he's been passionate about Mathematics since he was 4. Riccardo Carlesso is a Developer Advocate at Google Cloud, where he helps developers build amazing applications. He is a passionate software engineer with a love for Ruby, Bash, and all things cloud. When he's not coding, you can find him speaking at conferences, writing articles, or watching Sacha Baron Cohen movies. Note: this is a public facing version of my pvt go/ricc-conferences where I hold state (like Manager/Wife approval).
