About Rafael

I help companies and agencies turn AI from a buzzword into systems that actually run in production — capturing leads, automating processes, and saving teams hours every week.

I'm an AI engineer who ships real products, not demos. I currently build Cleo at Mail Metrics, an AI accounts-receivable assistant integrated with Microsoft Teams, and I built Botfy (botfy.io) from scratch — a multi-tenant platform of autonomous AI agents that handle sales conversations on WhatsApp and Telegram, now used by businesses across 50+ countries.

What sets me apart: 10+ years in B2B sales and operations before becoming an engineer, so I build for business outcomes, not just clean code. I see the problem, design the system, and ship it.

What I build:
- AI agents on WhatsApp/Telegram that qualify leads, book meetings, and follow up 24/7
- RAG assistants that answer from your own documents and knowledge base
- Process automation and LLM integrations into the tools you already use
- The AWS infrastructure (EKS, Lambda, Bedrock) to run it all reliably

Stack: Python/FastAPI, Next.js, Supabase/pgvector, AWS, Claude & LLM APIs. I deliver with fixed scope and clear dates, in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
