Hola, I’m Ricardo.

Ricardo Profile


I ran an independent cinema (Cairo Cinema Café) in México for almost 10 years.

Now I’m living in Berlin, where I lead the Tech Team for Yorck Kinogruppe. Besides watching movies, I’m planning on spending more time and attention making them (like Bicycles and Thieves). Previously, I worked helping build datadice, a Business Intelligence Agency.

In between México and Germany, I also lived and worked in China and Singapore (MSc in Supply Chain and Logistics, at NTU). Inspired by Kevin Kelly’s Asia Grace, I made Asian Guacamole | Volume 1.

Podcasts that feel like conversations with friends are one of my favorite things.

  • Here is the last episode of my 7-year podcast with Maru (en español).
  • Here I am talking about living and working in China with my good friend Álvaro (en español) in China con Todo.
  • Here is an interview series that I made with the team of datadice (I think every company should make a staff podcast).
  • Here is my appearance in Everyone is moving to Berlin, talking about cinemas in Berlin before I joined Yorck.
  • Here is the pilot episode of the Cinema Tech podcast, where I was a guest.

In the spirit of the CDs that I would burn with my favorite songs of that month when I was a teenager, I made a Life Mixtape.

The family dog locked me out of the house once. We remained good friends.

I made this site using Hugo (still not sure how the tape is holding everything together).

I live with FSHD, a genetic progressive muscle degeneration disease, which, like Rabbi Haviva Ner-David says, has been one of my greatest teachers.

Calm, curious, creative.
