RAFAEL BRIOSA E GALA

Rafael Briosa e Gala
I'm a product-minded technologist with a deep background in broadcast and media workflows. Over the past two decades, I've built systems that bridge the gap between creativity and technology — from automating post-production pipelines to shaping cloud-first platforms for modern media orchestration.

I'm obsessed with building tools that aren't just powerful, but genuinely improve people's daily workflows and help them get more done with less friction.
