Rafael T. Email & Phone Number

Hello,My name is Rafael, and I was born in Brazil. I had the opportunity to complete my high school education in the United States at Hartford High School in Arkansas. This experience was transformative, and I not only improved my English but also grew as an individual. During my time there, I actively participated in volunteer work, specifically assisting special-needs children during school road trips.After graduating from high school, I returned to Brazil to pursue my college education. I obtained my major in computer systems from UNIP in Campinas, São Paulo. My passion lies in helping others, and I am always eager to assist anyone who wants to learn. Additionally, I enjoy initiating new projects to apply what I’ve learned and continue my personal development.Resourcefulness defines my approach as I thrive on finding solutions through hard work and curiosity. Problem-solving and continuous improvement are second nature to me. As I always like to say, “It’s not about knowing everything; it’s about knowing how to learn anything.”Since 2018, I’ve been working as a developer. My primary languages are PHP and Typescript, but I’m also adaptable to other programming languages. I’ve had the privilege of leading a small development team, implementing effective task organization and delegation strategies.While most of my PHP projects have been pure PHP, I’ve also delved extensively into Laravel, which is the framework I find most comfortable to work with. On the frontend side, React is my preferred library for building dynamic user interfaces.I take pride in writing high-quality code, incorporating design patterns, and ensuring thorough testing. For me, coding is not just a task; it’s an enjoyable process of creating well-structured projects, and during my time leading projects I have always tried to structure my projects using Clean Architecture concepts.Throughout my professional journey, I’ve acquired valuable knowledge and honed my skills. My commitment is to continue learning and growing, aiming to become both a better developer and a capable leader. I thrive on challenges and constantly seek new knowledge to push myself forward.I engage in several hobbies that enrich my life and contribute to my personal growth, I actively contribute to open-source initiatives. Collaborating with like-minded developers, sharing knowledge, and creating solutions that benefit the community drive my passion. I occasionally stream my coding sessions on Twitch, providing insights into my work and fostering a supportive environment.
