In today's episode, I welcome Rafael Almeida, co-founder of Kafé Apps, the largest software house in Brazil, for an inspiring chat full of insights about technology, development and entrepreneurship. Discover how Rafael's journey, from his beginnings at the multinational to the founding of Kafé Apps, can inspire developers and entrepreneurs to achieve financial and professional success. We discuss the importance of interpersonal skills (soft skills) such as communication, positioning and mindset for developers. We highlight how these attributes can be as vital as technical skills to achieve exceptional results in the market. Rafael shares his difficulties in hiring qualified people in the technology area and how the Low Code approach changed his professional life, allowing him to buy his apartment and car. In addition, he talks about his goal of helping 10,000 businesses use technology, also revealing his personal ambitions, such as selling his company and starting a family. I also ask Rafael about the most common mistakes made by beginner developers and how to avoid them. The conversation addresses the need for candidates to be fully aware of the job requirements and demonstrate genuine interest during the selection process. The episode highlights Rafael's mentoring, the creation of theoretical content, and the importance of practice. With over 700 developers participating in his programs, Rafael has managed to close over R$2 million in contracts, demonstrating the success of his strategies. In the business field, Kafé Apps is in an expansion cycle, with a new headquarters in São Paulo and plans to invest in partnerships and franchises. The internal reorganization gives Pedro responsibility for sales, while Rafael focuses 100% on marketing. The company has approximately 48 direct and indirect employees, divided into squads of different technologies, and continues to focus on training new software houses through the Kafé Apps Academy.
