Greetings from Brazil ! You can call me Rafa.
I love tech, have been working with that for 15 years.

My main hobbies are Drones, Kite Surfing and having fun with AI.

I founded 10 years ago SociedadeVerde.org (Green Society) a Brazilian NGO that spreads open source green tech. We give courses of solar energy, Permaculture, organic agriculture, IoT automation...

You´re welcome in our couches in Florianópolis | Brasil. Great islands with many beautiful beaches and a vivid tech scene.

Cheers :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I´m travelling the world searching key partners to help expand my Telemedicine startup Globally.

We connect seamless to medical devices. Transferring the tests to remote specialists that diagnostics in the same day.
