Summary
Raphael Araújo is a senior software engineer with 13 years of experience building scalable, reliable web applications across backend-first and fullstack roles. He specializes in Ruby on Rails combined with modern front-end stacks like Next.js and React, and has written a Medium series exploring Rails + Next.js integration. Raphael has led teams and driven production stability at scale—designing AWS-based infrastructures, CI/CD pipelines, and performance fixes—while also shipping e-commerce, ERP/CRM, and mobile solutions as a long-term freelancer. Pragmatic about quality, he partners closely with QA to reproduce bugs, add automated tests, and shepherd fixes into production. Based in Minas Gerais, Brazil, he balances hands-on engineering with technical leadership and a knack for data-heavy reporting systems built early in his career. Outside work he’s a dedicated father and habitual bug hunter, which hints at both persistence and attention to detail.
