Hi there, I’m Rafael Milewski, a full-stack developer living in China for over a decade. I build all sorts of things, mostly with PHP and Rust, while also tinkering with hardware like ESP32 boards and contributing to open-source projects.
- I use both
QWERTYandColemakkeyboard layouts. - People ask me which OS do I use? MacOS at work, NixOS at home, Windows on weekends.
- I learned electronics to teach my children how to build their own toys.
- I collect breakout boards as if they were collectables. Gotta Catch 'Em All!.

- I love tinkering with hardware! Whenever I’m bored, I grab a random breakout board and write a driver for it.
- I enjoy discovering music in languages I don't speak. Sometimes I hit the jackpot: OTYKEN Uuhai
- Verilog: I’ve bought a few FPGA boards, and writing hardware code is fascinating!
- WebAssembly: Still searching for the perfect project to apply my Wasm knowledge.
- AI development: Current frameworks make it simple, but I want to go beyond them.
- “In Rust you can build things that would be abusively irresponsible to build in any other language.”
- “With great power comes longer generation times.”
- “In Rust We Trust.”
I have participated in several hackathon competitions hosted on the Dev.to platform.
- Conduit: A UI-less node-based system
- Imaginarium: Build. Explore. Leave Your Mark.
- EchoSense: Your Pocket-Sized Companion for Smarter Meetings
- DearBook: Create Magical Illustrated Children's Stories with AI
