How I work
Pragmatic by design. Curious by default.
I like to understand the real constraint first, then help a team choose the simplest dependable path forward.
Current toolkit
Currently exploring OpenCode independently.
Reliability is product work
Observability, thoughtful integrations, and resilient infrastructure are part of the customer experience.
Leadership is shared context
I help teams coordinate, make decisions, and grow confidence with the systems they own.
Use new tools with intent
I work with Cursor and GitHub Copilot, and contribute to Spec-Driven Development through Spec-kitti, ITTI’s in-house framework based on GitHub Spec Kit.
A little about me
Hands-on engineering, with a wider view.
I’m José Manuel González Ricart, a Senior Software Engineer based in Luque, Paraguay. My background spans software development, architecture, publishing platforms, and marketplaces. I enjoy working close to both the product and the people building it.
