Rafael Souza (Front-End Developer | Web3 Community Manager | Solana Ecosystem Builder)

👨‍💻 Front-End Developer specialized in building scalable, modern, and high-performance web applications, with strong experience in Angular, React, Next.js, TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.

I focus on delivering responsive interfaces, clean user experiences, and reliable frontend architectures for SaaS products, dashboards, and digital platforms. I have experience consuming and integrating RESTful APIs, implementing secure routes, improving application performance, and applying UX/UI best practices to create intuitive and consistent products.

Beyond frontend development, I’m also active in the Web3 and Solana ecosystem, working as a Community Manager, creator, and ecosystem builder. I help structure communities, campaigns, bounties, educational content, and growth initiatives for crypto-native projects, with a strong focus on LATAM and Brazil.

I was awarded 3rd place in the Cloak Track, a special Frontier Hackathon side track hosted on Superteam Earn as part of the Colosseum Frontier ecosystem, focused on building real-world payment solutions with privacy.

I also incorporate AI-assisted development workflows into my process, using tools like Claude, Codex, and AI Agents to accelerate prototyping, refine implementations, improve code quality, automate workflows, and support the development of production-ready applications.

Comfortable collaborating across the stack, I also have backend experience with Java, Spring Boot, and PostgreSQL, as well as familiarity with AWS, DevOps practices, Scrum, Kanban, and modern software delivery workflows.

Based in São Paulo, Brazil, I hold a degree in Information Systems from FIAP. Creative, proactive, and fast-learning professional, committed to continuous improvement, innovation, and building useful products at the intersection of software, communities, AI, and Web3.

English proficiency: Advanced.
