Summary
Raphael Pinheiro is a senior software engineer based in Barcelona with 11 years of experience delivering infrastructure and backend systems across mobility, smart city, and ERP domains. He has built production-grade platforms for high-impact programs—from Rio 2016’s operations center to ride-hailing in Africa and a 250k+ vehicle micro-mobility fleet at TIER—bringing deep IoT, geospatial and real-time systems expertise. Comfortable across Node.js/TypeScript, Elixir, Rust and distributed stacks (Kafka, PostgreSQL, Redis, Kubernetes), he blends hands-on coding with team leadership and platform design. He has repeatedly driven cross-functional initiatives such as company-wide A/B testing, on-board geofence processing, and visual positioning integrations that materially improved product accuracy and cost recovery. Equally at home implementing CI-safe developer tooling and building safety-critical city monitoring systems, Raphael pairs pragmatism with a penchant for low-level problems (IoT, emulators and 3D tech noted in his GitHub bio).
