About

Hello! I’m Rafael Andrade, and you’re reading my website!

Currently, I’m a Software Engineer at Talkdesk, dealing mostly with backend web programming (REST APIs, Kotlin/Spring and Ruby, MongoDB as main database). I’ve always been interested in computers, but my journey into the field only started during high school, when trying to write programs by trial and error in a TI-89. After that experience, the passion only grew stronger.

When not working or procastinating on Hacker News, I enjoy trying to solve CTF challenges (specially pwn/binary exploitation) or tinkering in a new project. When AFK, I like playing uke, reading or playing table tennis.

This website is my personal space to document and share technical knowledge, learned mostly through exploration and experimentation.
