About

Hello, I’m Rafael Ferreira an engineering and product leader.

Things I’ve helped build over the years:

  • Atlassian Compass – Make sense of your distributed architecture
  • Github Insights – Responsible for the much loved insights tabs but also an all-new analytics everywhere product – helping developers around the globe make better decisions.
  • New Relic Synthetics – I had the unique opportunity to build this from the ground up: team, product and engineering office
  • IO’s OpenCompute/OpenStack appliance and a couple data centers
  • BrowserMob (load testing and synthetic monitoring)
  • University of Phoenix’s online classroom software (back when they were a top 10 Alexa web site)

(Semi) Notable projects

  • Jujube – just enough logic to turn Apache Http Core into something suited for micro services
  • Sentry – a DNS server with dynamic, natural language, rules
  • Over the years I’ve also contributed to quite a few large open source projects including Mono, Apache HTTP Core and Micronaut
