I had the pleasure of working with Rafael Hurpia da Rocha at The SilverLogic for over eight years, and I can confidently say he is one of the most talented Full-Stack and DevOps engineers I’ve worked with.

His technical expertise, combined with his problem-solving mindset, consistently resulted in robust, scalable, and high-quality solutions for a wide range of client projects.
