Hello, I'm Rafael!
A mobile developer born in the U.S. and now living in Poland, with a passion for creating technology that improves people's lives.
I believe in building software that's not just functional, but also intuitive and enjoyable to use. My journey in technology has always been driven by curiosity and a desire to solve real-world problems through elegant code.
My Story
My fascination with technology began at an early age when I discovered I could create things that others could interact with. This led me down the path of software development, where I've spent more than a decade focused primarily on mobile applications.
Having lived in both the United States and Poland, I bring a unique cultural perspective to my work. This background has helped me develop software with global appeal and understand the needs of diverse user bases.
Today, I serve as a Software Engineering Manager at Pulsate, where I blend hands-on technical leadership with team management. I lead a team of 5 engineers while maintaining technical contributions, focusing on creating solutions in the financial technology sector. I'm passionate about leveraging AI tools and modern technologies to increase productivity and drive innovation, all while mentoring and developing the skills of my team members.
