Hi. I'm Rafael 🤟

Short Bio

I started out hustling in factories, construction sites, call centers, and kitchens all over Japan. My first big idea—a food truck—didn’t exactly take the country by storm.

So, I pivoted hard into tech, learning to code from the ground up. After bootcamps, late nights, and a few broken keyboards, I worked my way up from tech support to project management.

Building a Home Lab

Now, I’m building a homelab, tinkering with old laptops and networking tools, and figuring out how to run a mini-server farm from my tiny Tokyo apartment.
