Rafael is the Co‑Founder and Chief AI Architect at Adaptek, a human‑centered AI consultancy that builds accessible GenAI systems for healthcare and other high‑stakes environments. He blends 10+ years of enterprise AI and mobile engineering experience—including large‑scale deployments as a Senior Manager at Accenture—with a deep focus on responsible, production‑ready AI.

His work centers on designing Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG) assistants, agentic workflows, and evaluation/guardrail pipelines that real teams can trust in day‑to‑day operations. At Adaptek, Rafael partners with his co‑founder, a cyberpsychology‑trained strategist with lived experience of disability, to make sure AI is not only technically robust but also psychologically safe and accessible for diverse users.

On stage, Rafael is known for translating complex architecture into clear, practical stories—showing how to move from demos to production, how to measure quality beyond “wow” moments, and how to design AI that fits clinical workflows, frontline staff, and people using assistive technologies. He speaks in English and Spanish on topics such as human‑centered GenAI in healthcare, building trustworthy RAG systems, AI accessibility in practice, and the real‑world psychology of AI adoption

KMP Falls in Love with Gemini AI

In this interactive session, we will dive into Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP), Google’s powerful tool for sharing code across Android, iOS, and beyond, and explore how it integrates seamlessly with the Gemini AI to create personalized, AI-driven applications. Through a live demo, we’ll build a cross-platform mobile app using KMP that generates creative, real-time suggestions powered by the Gemini API. This hands-on session will guide you through key features of the Gemini API, from setting up the API to customizing AI responses for practical, real-world applications. Whether you’re new to KMP or an experienced developer, join us to discover how to harness generative AI and create engaging, multi-platform mobile experiences.
