Ricardo Costeira, GDG Organizer
Hi, I’m Ricardo — an Android engineer with over 10 years of experience building for the platform. Portuguese by origin, based in Poland by choice (the food is excellent and I have no regrets).
I spend most of my time writing Kotlin and thinking about architecture, software design, trade-offs, and how to write code that’s still readable a year from now. I’ve also been writing about Android for a while — I’ve co-authored three published books on Android development, all available on Kodeco. You’ll also find most of my Android/Kotlin articles there.
Outside of work: I’m into specialty coffee (the kind that comes with tasting notes and a suspicious price-to-volume ratio), gaming, anime — One Piece is objectively the best and I will not be taking questions — mechanical keyboards (I build my own), and my dog, who is obviously the best and cutest dog in the whole world. I also go to the gym and try to eat well. That said, I never say no to a good burger.
Carlos Mota, GDG Organizer
Carlos Mota is an Android GDE. He can easily be spotted either working on Android applications written in Kotlin or developing them along with Kotlin Multiplatform. An enthusiastic for new technology and always trying to reach those last 20% of all of his side projects that seem to be really far away. He loves to share his knowledge with others either by giving talks, teaching, writing or along with a cold beer in the nearest pub. GDG Coimbra organizer and Kotlin evangelist, he also has a huge passion for travel, photography, space and the occasional run.
