Rafael Munhoz
@rafaelmunhoz
Software engineer specializing in full‑stack and local AI solutions.
BrazilWhat I'm looking for
I am a software engineer with 3+ years of experience delivering full‑stack solutions using React, TypeScript, and Python. I specialize in end‑to‑end product development, from system architecture to production deployment, and am expanding into Local AI and Edge Computing.
As Creator & Lead Engineer of AEON, I architected a modular, privacy‑first desktop AI assistant with fully offline capabilities using Python and PyQt6, integrating local LLMs (Ollama) and multimodal inputs like Whisper and MediaPipe. I engineered a custom JSON‑based Function Calling engine to allow autonomous system interactions.
I conceived and single‑handedly developed KinkLink, a secure PWA built with React, TypeScript, and Firebase, implementing real‑time features, gesture‑based interfaces, and a sophisticated state machine via custom React hooks. I also applied testing practices using Vitest and React Testing Library to ensure reliability.
I have additional experience as a freelance developer and Flutter contractor, building responsive websites and a mobile emergency app. I bring practical experience across frontend, backend, AI integrations, and deployment, with a strong focus on privacy, performance, and user‑centered design.
