Summary
Rafael Salles is a seasoned software engineer and tech lead with 11+ years building Java and Kotlin backend systems, mobile projects, and DevOps pipelines across AWS and Azure. As Tech Lead at Zup Innovation and founder of Programaromber, he combines hands-on architecture and coding with people-focused leadership and mentoring. He brings deep expertise in SQL, Jasper Reports and relational databases—rooted in an early hands-on start running a private game server in 2007—and has delivered govtech-certified invoicing solutions. Comfortable across the full stack (Spring, Micronaut, Angular, Ionic) and containerized deployments (Docker, Kubernetes), he drives CI/CD, TDD and clean-architecture practices in agile teams. An MBA in Mobile Projects and current master's studies in Computer Science complement his practical experience, while hobbies like meteorology and guitar reveal a curious, disciplined mindset outside work.
