Engineering lead across Rye Valley. Joined Aug 2023 to build Megaphone V1 and has held the codebase since; backend/tech lead, sprint retros, V3 pricing migration, in-house AI content agent work. Reviews agent-created PRs in the RyeValley org.
- CORRECTION (Michael, 2026-08-22): Rafael does NOT do account management, on JOLT! or anywhere else. An earlier version of this page listed him as “Account Manager” with “account management on the JOLT! side.” That was wrong. He is engineering, full stop.
- Compensation, if applicable: Owner tier.
