About

https://ricardomarques.dev | https://github.com/rjmarques Hi, I'm Ricardo Marques. I'm a professional nerd that works on both the back and front end, while using a modern tech stack to make things go: Beep-Boop. I started off my career as a backend Java developer, building JEE applications. Shortly after, my interest in all things Web related made me expand into becoming a Full Stack Developer. More recently I’ve been working with Golang on the backend side of things, and with React and Typescript on the front-end bits. In my free time I dabble with tech I'm less familiar with. Recently it has been self-hosting, IoT home automation, and Arduino.

Longshot systems

Senior Full Stack Software Engineer

Oct 2018Jul 2023 · 4 yrs 9 mos · London · Hybrid

  • Led the UI development of internal and customer facing web UIs: including defining CI/CD
  • workflows, selecting technologies, and UI/UX design
  • Ownership over greenfield full stack projects (React+Golang+Postgres), where I was responsible
  • for all development phases, including: requirement gathering, architecture design, full stack
  • implementation, deployment and maintenance
  • Spearheaded the introduction of Docker as the execution platform for Longshot’s microservices,
  • in place of Systemd. Additionally, designed and developed a build & deployment CLI tool that streamlined the Docker development workflow. Which greatly facilitated the transition to Docker,
  • from the developer’s perspective
  • Worked on various high throughput and event driven data processing applications. For example,
  • one that aggregated sport information across different third-party systems (bookies) and
  • produced internal representations, which abstracted the rest of the system from the various
  • bookie-specific nomenclatures. This was achieved by producing a proximity graph for sporting
  • events that were closely related to one another, and required high amounts of
  • integration/blackbox tests (harnessing docker-compose) to ensure ongoing reliability.
