Ricardo Ferreira

Ricardo works for AWS in the Developer Experience team. The world of DevRel (Developer Relations) is Ricardo’s second nature. Even before working with DevRel as a full-time job at companies like Confluent, Elastic, and AWS—it was like a hobby for him during his software engineering days. With +24 years of experience, he developed an extensive background in distributed systems, databases, streaming data, and observability. The first 10 years of his career were spent in software engineering, where his primary focus was about programming languages, compilers, debuggers, code efficiency, and development best practices. Then, he switched gears, working with Solution Architecture at Oracle. There, he eventually joined the “A-Team”—a special team under the product development organization whose charter is to engage in highly complicated projects and complete them successfully.
