about

~/about

$ cat about.md

Hi, I'm Rafael. I live where math, data and software overlap. I like taking a messy problem, finding the structure hiding inside it, and turning that into something that actually works.

what makes me tick

Creating things genuinely makes me happy. Building something from nothing and watching it run for the first time is still my favorite feeling in the world, and it never gets old.

These days I run my own company, Mateo & Co., S.R.L., and do a bit of everything for clients: websites, web apps and AI integrations, plus my own products in between.
