About

Rafael Aquino

Web Developer

I’m a full-stack web developer with 6 years of experience building fast, accessible websites and web apps. I work mostly with WordPress, PHP, JavaScript and React, and I’ve shipped projects for startups, schools and local businesses.

I write clean code, test on real phones, and explain technical choices in plain language.
