About
Hi, I'm Rafael.
I started GrowDaily because I have a passion for equipping people with technology that makes their lives better. I'm especially drawn to where technology and faith meet: helping churches, ministries and people exploring faith use new tools wisely, without losing what matters most.
My background
By day, I lead enterprise data and AI transformation at an energy company, working alongside executives, architects and product leaders to build high-performing teams and deliver measurable results.
- 25+ years of professional experience, leading enterprise-scale data, analytics and AI transformation.
- Guiding cross-functional engineering and delivery teams to modernize data platforms and put AI solutions into real use.
- Scaled agile delivery, cloud data platforms and generative AI enablement.
- Certifications from Databricks, Google and SAFe, among others.
Why GrowDaily
Big companies have whole teams to figure out AI. Most people and organizations don't. GrowDaily brings the same practices I use at enterprise scale to everyday life and to organizations of every size.
One lesson from 25 years of data and analytics work: AI is only as good as your data. Before anything gets built, we look at what you have, and we'll tell you honestly if it isn't ready yet. Our data readiness checklist is a good place to start.
- Free apps for money, habits, time, meals and mood, private by default.
- Plain-English guides to using AI at work, grounded in facts, with no hype.
- Faith tools for honest questions about God and finding a church nearby.
- Training, consulting and custom AI apps for businesses, nonprofits and churches.
How I work
Value first
Start with the outcome that matters to you, and build the smallest thing that delivers it.
Governance and quality
Clear guardrails, careful testing and honest limits, so AI earns trust instead of creating risk.
People over tools
Technology should give people time back for each other, not replace the human parts of the work.
