Hi! I'm Rafael, a Software Developer with a strong interest in building technological solutions that simplify processes, solve real problems, and create more efficient experiences for people and businesses.
I hold a degree in Computer Engineering and have a solid foundation in C#, .NET, and TypeScript. Along the way, I've also gained experience developing mobile applications, as well as designing, managing, and optimising databases. I aim for constant growth, deepening my knowledge and keeping up with evolving technologies and best practices in the field.
In software development, I particularly value quality, efficiency, scalability, and maintainability. I strive to write structured, clear, and sustainable code, following principles and best practices that make it possible to build robust applications built to evolve over time.
I believe that building excellent products comes not only from strong technical skills but also from a strong capacity for collaboration. I value teamwork, sharing knowledge, and discussing ideas, treating every challenge as an opportunity to learn, improve, and find more effective solutions.
Above all, I aim to build technology with purpose: well-thought-out, technically solid solutions capable of generating real value.
