About Me
Code, Coffee & Creativity
I'm Rafael - a developer based in Chesterfield, working with businesses all around Derbyshire. A nerd at heart who loves everything tech, I'm driven by curiosity and the thrill of turning ideas into reality.
I genuinely love supporting small business owners - helping local entrepreneurs get online and watching their businesses grow. Great software should feel personal, built with intention, not just functionality.
