Top SchoolRaphael Amorim is a Stockholm-based software engineer with 12 years of experience building performant web and full-stack systems for companies like Viaplay, Spotify and GoDaddy. He brings deep frontend expertise—React internals, custom renderers and WebGL/canvas UIs—as evidenced by his open-source work on react-ape, a tiny React renderer, and contributions to the core facebook/react repo. At Viaplay he introduced Rust into production, created internal tooling and taught workshops while still shipping backend and React frontend features. He has a strong performance and tooling mindset from earlier roles at Globo.com where he drove significant TTFB and render-time improvements and built reusable tooling. A frequent conference speaker on WebGL, Clojure and modern JavaScript, Raphael combines systems thinking with hands-on implementation across browser, server and GPU-accelerated UI stacks.
