Rafael Diez is a seasoned engineering leader with 11 years of experience building high-performing teams and developer infrastructure across consumer mobile products and global-scale platforms. Currently VP of Engineering at QuintoAndar after leading developer infrastructure and open source advocacy at Meta, he blends deep hands-on mobile engineering roots with executive-level strategy and people development. His career spans founding-stage product delivery at Bumble and Minijuegos to large-scale systems at Meta, giving him rare fluency in both fast product iterations and planet-scale operational complexity. Rafael is known for reducing mobile crash rates, institutionalizing engineering processes, and championing diversity and developer communities inside enterprises. He also brings an academic and mentoring bent—teaching mobile marketing and running startup programs—so he combines technical delivery with strong developer outreach and talent-building instincts. Based in London, he pairs a polyglot technical background with a pragmatic focus on shipping reliable, user-centered software.
