About Me

Hello! My name is Ricardo David and I enjoy working with cross functional teams to bring projects to life. My interest for IT project management started when I realised that I had fun coding but I had this extroverted & natural salesman type persona. I now combine these 2 traits on a daily basis to excel at what I do.

Fast forward today and I had the privilege of delivering projects at a Robotic Research Center, Advertising Agency and a Medical Test Center. My main focus today is planning & delivering projects/SW releases for the Middleware & API integration department at SIBS - Forward Payment Solutions - the leading digital payment solution provider in Portugal.

I also recently got my Google Project Management Certificate that demonstrates that I have gone through the trainning required to successfully lead and direct projects.

Here's some other skills I have:

  • Solidity
  • Scrum
  • Trilingual (EN,PT,ES)
  • Python
  • Agile Project Management
  • Javascript
