Hi, I'm Ricky

Hi friend 👋

Thank you for taking the time to stop by my small part of the digital universe. As you navigate through these virtual pages, you'll find a multi-passionate individual who has a wide range of experiences and skills. Who, hopefully, has some things to share with the rest of the world.

For the past 3 years, I've been wearing multiple hats as the Director of Technology and Operations at The Migus Group. Working at a small startup affords me the opportunity to use my varied life experiences and skills to have a valuable impact on the company and the customers we serve.

Stop calling me lucky for having good kids!
