Hey it's me, Rico! Building as software developer and living as sports enthusiast
What I write about
Software Development
Code, architecture, tooling, and lessons from building things.
Cycling
Rides, gear, training, and what happens when data meets the saddle.
Life
Sport, travel, everyday moments — the non-code side of things.
Build in Public
Sharing the messy process of shipping products in the open.
Smarthome
Automations, hardware, and making the house a little smarter.
