👋 Hi there, I'm Raúl

With 15+ years of experience in software development, I've grown into a product-minded engineer who looks beyond the technical implementation to understand the problems we're trying to solve.
I'm naturally curious and enjoy engaging with people, asking questions, challenging assumptions, and collaborating across disciplines to build thoughtful solutions that address real business needs and deliver meaningful value to users.
