Hey, I'm Rafael 👋

I'm a Backend Software Engineer with 5 years of experience building backend systems across logistics, SaaS and on-demand platforms.

My core stack includes PHP, Laravel, Java, AWS, Azure, Kafka and RabbitMQ, with experience in system architecture, distributed systems, API design and automated testing.

At Zinger Transportation, I increased load processing throughput by 200%, from 20 to 60 loads per second, while developing backend solutions for complex logistics operations in an international environment.

Beyond software engineering, I'm a tech entrepreneur and a semifinalist in Brazil's largest startup reality show, with exclusive coverage featured on Globo and Globoplay. I've contributed to launching two mobile applications published on the App Store and Google Play and spoken at technology and innovation events, including Summit Iguassu Valley and Technovação.

I hold a C2 English certification from the University of Cambridge and am interested in remote backend engineering opportunities with international teams, focusing on scalable systems, performance optimization and reliable software.

What I care about  →  clean boundaries, useful tests, observable systems and simple solutions
How I work         →  ownership from discovery to deploy, clear communication and steady delivery
Currently exploring → Java + Spring Boot, AI-enabled backends and cloud-native architecture
