Top SchoolRafael Passarela is a seasoned software engineer and pragmatic technology leader with over two decades in IT and a decade of focused engineering experience, currently building AI-driven backend integrations at HostGator América Latina.

He has deep legacy-to-cloud experience across Delphi, .NET and modern microservices, and a track record of automating engineering telemetry (Jira→GitLab→Metabase) to drive predictable delivery. Currently completing an MBA in Leadership, Innovation and Management 4.0, he blends technical craft with strategic planning to deliver measurable business impact.
