Hi, I'm Ricky 👋

I'm a technical writer, software engineer, and open-source contributor with a passion for building secure and scalable solutions. Currently, I work as a Lead Engineer specializing in Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Privileged Access Management (PAM), focusing on enterprise-scale security solutions.

I'm a writer for Real Python, where I create in-depth tutorials and articles for Python developers. I've also published both fiction and non-fiction books.

I'm the creator of several open-source projects and an active contributor to the community. I work primarily with Python and Go, with deep experience across IAM/PAM, Zero Trust, and security automation. This site is where I share my projects, writing, and practical guides for building secure, scalable systems.

I also offer consulting services for startups and small businesses. Whether you need technical project management, security consulting, or custom automation, I provide short-term, high-impact expertise to help you achieve your goals.
