Building and scaling teams
to make an impact on your business.

Rafael is one of those persons that challenges you in order to excel at what you do best. I worked with Rafael for over 15 months, and in that time he helped me gain the right technical vision to be able to design the best user experience for our platform. He helped build growth and team spirit by improving communications in our global team. Always insightful, a great mentor and a good sense of humor, I'm lucky to have worked with Rafael!

Rafael is a creative mentor and a strategic planner who lives at the intersection between business and technology. Using his high level of emotional intelligence, sharp technical understanding, and clear communication skills, he is able to build well-reputed teams that are focus driven, motivated, and empowered to succeed. Those that he leads, thrive while working with him. They feel both encouraged and challenged to grow and become leaders of their own.

Rafael was a pleasure to work with. As a Software Engineer at Overpass, I felt his earnest enthusiasm for technology and problem solving was inspirational. He has a broad and deep knowledge of web, VoIP, and hardware technologies. He understands modern best practices and values finding the right tools and design for the job at hand. As a manager he is patient, reasonable, and easy to talk to. He manages local and remote developer teams capably with respectful and clear communication, while continuing to foster the cohesive comradery at Overpass.

It is a real pleasure working with Rafael and Overpass. They always strive for the best, making no compromises. Their team is professional and I definitely see them as the leaders in their field in the near future.

When I arrived at Overpass, it was Rafael who I looked to for direction. I still do. Rafael is cool headed but persistent. In such a busy company, he doesn't miss a beat. His eyes are also always turned outward, to current developments in technology and what may lie around the bend. Anything that can make our product or team dynamic better. I'm very fortunate to work with him.

Rafael also helps to foster a collaborative, friendly, open work environment where team members are encouraged to work together to achieve company goals. I enjoy working with him.

Rafael is one of the most intelligent and tech savvy persons I have worked with. Besides his excellent technical knowledge, he also invests a lot of time in refining his soft skills and constantly trying to learn what are the aspects he can improve. What is unusual is that he has a real interest and spends considerable time in growing and motivating everyone around him, starting with peers and all the way to newly joined interns and junior team members. Although he has an incredible technical mind, his priority of putting people first, and doing this with integrity and patience, makes him a true inspiration. It was a privilege working with him on building Overpass.com.

Rafael is good at what he does, and both a great leader and manager. He understands the tech he works with, is super understandable in his direction, and is clear in what he wants. Working with him has been a real pleasure.

Rafael has a unique ability to see ahead of the curve at emerging technologies and pick the ones that shape our world tomorrow. While many people are busy with the latest and the greatest Refael is the one leading the way with the future.

Having worked with Rafael on several projects I can attest to his exceptional skills, expertise and wide-ranging knowledge on every aspect in software development. highly recommended!

It is always a pleasure to work together with Rafael, who is an efficient technologist and a great strategist. He is very thorough in everything he does and can be depended upon to get the job done.
