Studying self-development and pondering human potential for 20 years from an individual and societal perspective, Ricky considers himself a slightly above-average autodidactic armchair philosopher. With zero degrees under his belt, Ricky feels he has done the due diligence necessary to write with some degree of authority despite his lack of formal education.
Ricky publishes under the brand Chimera Books, guided by the principles of reasoning through faith in what is optimal for human survival and individual flourishing.
With many of Ricky's currently published books, the vehicle is humour, sometimes without any moral or message, but just for shits and giggles. While he has a few more works of satire in the pipes, is moving away from humour and taking on a more serious, mature tone.
Ricky's books have been downloaded over 3600 times on Google Books since they were added in January of last year.
Having developed his skills through the NSW TAFE system, and after fifteen years working with clients on web design projects, Ricky knows HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Utilising WordPress and various Adobe graphic design products to create online presences for small to medium businesses in the country.
While Ricky still services around ten clients, he no longer takes on third-party projects, preferring to devote his time to developing applications to help him write, study, and meditate.
Thanks to the development of ChatGPT, Ricky has been able to take his coding skills to the next level, tackling programming problems once out of his reach, and cutting down the amount of time it takes to develop a complex application. He has also started packaging his apps using Electron to run locally on Windows desktop environments.
