Summary
Rafael Argente is a Senior Software Engineer based in London with over 10 years of experience building reliable, test-driven systems across domains from Formula 1 aerodynamics to European Space Agency projects. Holding a BE in Software Engineering and an MS in Space Science & Technology, he blends strong scientific instincts with pragmatic software delivery, often owning end-to-end lifecycles from architecture to release. He has moved seamlessly between solo-contributor roles and team leadership, shipping data-heavy pipelines, UI tools, and backend services using Python, Java, C# and scientific toolchains. Notable clients include McLaren Racing and ESA, where he implemented complex testing regimes, legacy refactors and security-sensitive components. A self-directed learner, Rafael quickly adopts new stacks and has a track record of automating developer workflows and deployments to reduce operational friction. He thrives on solving interdisciplinary problems at the intersection of aerospace, image processing and distributed systems.
