Development

Ricardo began writing code in early 2023, entirely self-taught — no courses, no bootcamp, just building things and learning through practice. Between 2023 and 2026, five SaaS products were built and shipped. All are now retired.

Four earlier projects from 2023–2024 — Ricardoneud.com, SiteForgePro, OpenBots, and Discord Secure — existed but cannot be documented because their domains expired and no data survived. These are acknowledged in Lost Projects.

The five archived projects are:

Gaming

Gaming started in 2016 on a PSP. Over the following years, Ricardo progressed through Nintendo handhelds, PlayStation consoles, and eventually moved to PC gaming in late 2025. The current setup is a PC and PlayStation 5.

The full gaming device history is documented in Gaming Timeline. The complete game library is listed in Game Library.
