About

I’m Raúl Plaza Rodríguez, a freelance software architect and tech entrepreneur with a long-standing passion for building scalable systems. I specialize in integrating complex enterprise platforms, enabling seamless data flows across global processes, and delivering robust microservices-based architectures.

Currently I’m steering initiatives like SmoothMove and Codiloop Technologies, while continuing to engineer scalable solutions for customers and partners.
