Hi, my name is
Full Stack developer, with a strong interest on backend development and system integrations — building web platforms, REST APIs and business applications with Laravel, C# .NET and Android.
My name is Rafael Bento, a full stack developer, with a strong interest in backend development and system integrations. I work mostly with Laravel, C# .NET and Android, building web platforms, REST APIs and business applications.
Outside of work, I enjoy developing personal projects such as Classic Games, an Android app that bundles a handful of timeless games (Snake, Wordle, Mastermind, Hangman, Tic-Tac-Toe and more) with high-score leaderboards and multilingual support.
I am a fast learner who enjoys solving problems and continuously improving my technical skills. I value clear communication, adaptability and teamwork. I am a native Portuguese speaker, fluent in English (B2), and have a very basic knowledge of French and Spanish.

An Android app that bundles a collection of timeless games — Snake, Tic-Tac-Toe, Mastermind, Wordle, Hangman and True Colors — with high-score leaderboards, multiple languages and a clean MVVM architecture. All data stays on the device.
A C# tool that auto-generates full CRUD scaffolding — models, views, controllers, documentation and more — for Laravel 11+ projects, taking the repetitive boilerplate out of creating new resources.
Final academic project: a dual-platform system for managing airline operations — aircraft, users, flights, restaurants and more. Built as a Yii2 web application (separate frontend and backend) paired with an Android app that consumes the backend REST API.
Rafael collaborated with us as a developer and showed real adaptability and a strong sense of responsibility in developing and maintaining our solutions. He grasps requirements easily, solves problems, and stays on top of the needs of the projects he's involved in — always professional, collaborative and well-organised. He brings technical and personal strengths that will be an asset to any software development team.
I'm currently open to hear new opportunities and interesting projects. Whether you'd like to talk about a role, a collaboration, or just say hello, my inbox is always open. I'll do my best to get back to you as soon as possible.
