Shipped Products · QA Leadership

Ricardo is exactly what you want from a QA Lead, dependable and able to think outside the box. He is very thorough in his work, and able to detect and predict edge cases long before the product gets in the hands of users. Ricardo demonstrates strong and effective leadership, and he and his team were essential to the highly polished games that we produced together. He is the type of co-worker that you enjoy getting a message from, even when you know that message is going to be reporting a bug was re-opened that you were sure you had fixed! I would love to work with Ricardo again in the future.

I reported to Ricardo at Originator, and he consistently demonstrated what it means to be a true professional. He’s highly technical, leads with clarity, and supports the team in a way that makes everyone better. I learned a great deal from his guidance and strong engineering mindset, and I felt well managed throughout. If you’re looking for a Grade A leader who delivers, Ricardo is your man!

Simply put, Ricardo is a world-class QA professional and the best I've ever worked with. He is exhaustively thorough, communicates well across multi-functional teams (front/back-end engineering, art/animation, etc.), and was responsible for shipping 4 complex consumer mobile apps with no surprises as to bugs or other issues.

I had the pleasure of working with Ricardo at Originator, where he was the QA Lead on PAW Patrol Academy and PAW Patrol: The Game. Working on games for a young audience comes with a unique set of challenges, and Ricardo was one of the people who consistently made sure we were delivering the best experience possible for players and families. Ricardo went far beyond simply logging bugs. He took the time to understand how features were supposed to work, how systems connected together, and where potential issues could impact the overall player experience. Whether it was catching small polish issues that could easily be missed or thoroughly testing larger gameplay systems, he brought an incredible level of care and attention to every release. What stood out most about Ricardo was how much ownership he took over the quality of the games. He was always willing to dig into difficult issues, collaborate with different teams, and push for solutions rather than just pointing out problems. His persistence and attention to detail helped the entire game move faster and with more confidence. Ricardo was a huge part of the success of PAW Patrol Academy and PAW Patrol: The Game, and I truly appreciated having someone so reliable, thoughtful, and committed to quality as part of our team.

Ricardo is a detail-oriented and talented QA Lead that any team would be fortunate to have. I worked with him on several projects at Originator, and each time he demonstrated great knowledge of software testing, especially as it pertained to backend systems. He consistently identified and examined edge cases and reported issues to the engineering team. His attention to UX and app quality helped us to launch products that were more stable and successful.

I had the pleasure of working with Ricardo during my time at Originator. As our team's QA lead, Ricardo and I worked closely to ensure the quality of PAW Patrol: The Game met expectations. Thanks to his diligence and dedication, it exceeded those expectations. When the project went into soft launch, we were happy to report 0% crash rate on iOS and Android, something that wouldn't have been possible without his and his team's attention to detail. Ricardo particularly excelled at tracking down complex back-end system bugs, juggling gameplay, localization, and performance improvements. He did all of this while keeping a positive attitude, even in the most stressful situations. He would be a great asset to your team.

Ricardo is one of the best QA professionals I've ever had the opportunity to work with. His attention to detail, ability to explore different scenarios, and talent for anticipating complex situations, even understanding and breaking them down, are truly exceptional. It's genuinely impressive how quickly he adapts and consistently identifies things that no one else had considered. He was always approachable, proactive, and available whenever the team needed him. Every time we had to investigate an issue, Ricardo was able to guide the testing efforts and discussions in exactly the right direction, helping us narrow down the problem until we found the root cause. Anyone who wants to ensure they're building a high-quality product needs Ricardo on their team.

Ricardo is talented and passionate quality champion. He's incredibly technical and gets into the nitty gritty with developers and maps out the whole error space. I could always trust that when Ricardo said something was ready, it was. His approach to QA works really well for small teams where he took charge as a lead and made sure our apps were the amazing user experiences that we all hoped they would be. He can adapt to any situation and overcome tremendous challenge to make sure your software is great. I would love to work with Ricardo again.
