Raphael C. - developer in Brazil
Raphael C.
Nerd FullStack Developer React/Rails/Node with 4+ yrs of experience

I love facing new challenges. Seeing a well-done job after hours and days of work is one of the best feelings that I ever experienced. And that is my fuel to work so hard: be able to, in the end, look at my newly completed work and be satisfied. My logical thinking is one of my main work tools. I've been a developer for some years now, but I've always been a problem solver. For me, coding is like a puzzle to be put together and I know that I have all the pieces I need in reach - sometimes they will be on Stack Overflow, but, eventually, I will be able to reach them. I've been working as a Full-Stack developer/Software Engineer, using, as main stacks, React for the Front-End and Ruby on Rails and Node for the Back-End.
