Raphael Silva

I’m fascinated by iOS Development, Software Engineering and Entrepreneurship. I'm always thinking of ways to change people’s lives, pushing myself to overcome barriers and working to create meaningful projects through the use of technology. I have 10 years of experience mainly coding for iOS and with an eye for automation and CI/CD. I'm focused on writing clean and testable code and I invest time to keep myself up-to-date, learning new technologies and constantly pursuing to improve the way I write code.
