Hi, I’m Raphael! 👋

I’ve spent my career building software that’s reliable, clear, and maintainable, and helping teams grow along the way. This site is where I share what I’ve learned through writing and talks.

Much of my open source work is available on GitHub.

I’m a Principal Software Engineer at Aleph Alpha, a German AI startup. We’re building PhariaAI, a full-stack generative AI suite that helps governments and enterprises create and deploy tailored AI use cases. 🤖🧠

Previously, I was a Staff Software Engineer at Mozilla, the company behind the Firefox browser. Mozilla’s mission is to build an internet that’s open and accessible to all. 🔥🦊

Feedback

If you’ve learned something from my posts or used projects like cookiecutter or pytest that I’ve worked on, I’d love to hear from you!
