Ricardo's Work

I currently work at Miva in Cambridge near Boston. Quite a fun place to work!

Among the work that I have done in my previous lives:

 My previous job was at Compete, Inc. in Boston, MA. I worked there for 2 years until I had to leave because of health reasons, a couple of hernia operations between March and August of 2005. What a painful year that was.

 Before that I worked at NetRatings, Inc. in Milpitas, CA. I worked there for 4 years.

Here is a picture of some of the people that worked in my office, long, long time ago at a Friday night beer bust. I was the 19th employee and the company grew to about 240 people. They still have plenty of people but only about 2 people from this picture remain there.

I worked for Netscape Communications, Corp. In Mt. View. Netscape had almost 3,000 employees before it merged with AOL.

At Netscape I worked as part of the News and Email group in the Netscape Communicator group. I still use Communicator for email and web browsing.

I worked out of my own house for eMisis InfoCom from the UK , I used to program custom software for the GEOS based Nokia 9000 GSM and PCS 1900 cellular phone. It's really cool stuff, it all works but the assignment is over. I did UNIX server software and the client software was on the Nokia 9000.

I worked at Silicon Graphics (SGI) for almost 2 years doing Indy Connectivity, demo software and some hacks of my own, such as a 3D textured air hockey game using Open Inventor.

At Magic Edge, programmed the motion control, networking and ride control for the Virtual Reality Flight Simulator. It consists of a moving flight simulator where you get to fight other people in a virtual world. I got to do Windows, Mac and UNIX software for this.
