Pierre-Yves Ricau

Nice to meet you! My friends call me P-Y or Pierre. My pronouns are he / him. I work on the Square side of Block, as a Principal Android Engineer.

Life

After 12 years in San Francisco, I just moved to Lyon, France! I enjoy being with my family, rollerblading, baking and reading sci-fi.

Work

Since 2009 I’ve mostly been doing Android adjacent things. I like to vent on social media then write proper technical articles at blog.p-y.wtf. I’ve worked at Square since 2013. Over the years I have published a number of open source libraries (including LeakCanary), technical articles and presentations.

Reach out!

I have DMs open on social media: .

Don’t reach out on LinkedIn. I never open LinkedIn.

My email is py dot [my last name] at gmail dot com (I’m probably not fooling any AI bots with this, but that was worth a try).

This is me!
