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 combines hands-on backend skills (PHP/Laravel, Docker, serverless, CQRS, TDD) with strong operational leadership—having led 15–20 engineers as IT Coordinator at KingHost to cut backlog age from years to months and improve cycle time by 63%.

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.
