Rafael Franco

Full-Stack Engineer, AI Engineer & Creative Problem Solver

I'm a passionate software developer with 7+ years of experience building high-impact digital products. I combine creativity, analytical thinking, and technical depth to create solutions that add real value. Since I was a kid, I've been naturally inclined to connect ideas that seem unrelated — and that ability has become my superpower as an engineer.

My journey began in the corporate world at Accenture, where I worked as an analyst for BP's oil and gas operations. I quickly became the go-to person for data automation, mastering SAP, Excel, Power BI, Tableau, SQL, and RPA to transform manual processes into efficient automated systems. I was instrumental in the BHP to BP acquisition process, saving significant time and money through intelligent automation. This is where I learned that the best engineers don't just write code—they solve real business problems that matter.

I mastered the complete tech stack—Flutter for beautiful mobile experiences, NestJS for robust backends, Firebase for real-time features, and became expert in CI/CD, deployments, and app store publishing. I proved I could handle every aspect of product development from design to deployment, shipping production-ready applications that delighted users and clients alike.
