Hello, my name is

Rafael Rodriguez.

I'm a Full Stack Developer.

About Me

I am a highly skilled and innovative Full Stack Developer with over 6 years of hands-on experience designing, developing and optimizing interactive, user-friendly and feature-rich web applications. I am a focused and efficient learner with not only experience on the backend and frontend but also practical expertise across the entire development stack including testing, AI, analytics, architecture and cybersecurity. I am able to effectively self-manage during independent projects, as well as collaborate appropriately in a team setting in order to efficiently implement new features for an existing product based on user feedback or build new innovative projects from start to finish. When I'm not coding, I'm either watching series, playing video games or working out. Other times I am reading or learning a new language or framework.

Projects

Here are some small personal projects I created in my free time to be more aware of all the steps necessary to create and deploy to production an application from scratch using different methods and technologies.
