Rafael joins Mindgrub as an associate mobile engineer. He grew up on the mean streets in the NW suburbs of Chicago. A former Electrical Engineer and a former participant of schools including The University of Illinois, Frederick Community College, and Montgomery College, Rafael has converted to Computer Science and is currently finishing his Computer Science Degree at the University of Maryland (UMBC).
Rafael loves to program and is always looking to learn new things in the diverse world of code. When he has free time, he also likes to tinker around with Arduino projects and surmise ways to create an evil robot (it will purposefully hide the tv remote and your car keys - very evil indeed). In his other free time, he enjoys running, playing/watching sports, Cuban cuisine, and the occasional nap or two or three. Rafael also likes the occasional cigar + scotch and long walks on the beach.
