I'm a Software Engineer II at Microsoft, based in Barcelona, Spain.

I'm an engineer with a strong product mindset, and I care about making technology simple and genuinely useful in people's lives. At Microsoft I work on backend and product experiences for Copilot and Bing. I also love infrastructure, networking, and Kubernetes, and building systems that stay reliable as they scale. Outside of work, I enjoy turning ideas into real products and taking side projects from zero to real users.

A few things I've built:

• revivaly.ai: bring your memories back to life
• mamipiso: helping Gen Z find their next home
• quelees: organize your book library

• Portfolio & blog: imraul.com
• LinkedIn: in/raul-portugues
• Email: hi@raporpe.me

Thanks for stopping by. Feel free to reach out!
