Rafael is a focused PHP backend developer with a 12-year GitHub history. His original work includes a QvaPay payment gateway for WooCommerce (4 stars) and a small array-to-object conversion library (3 stars) practical, packageable PHP. The portfolio is narrow and largely inactive now (abandonment ~0.81), but it reflects real, reusable backend authorship rather than forks.
