After 12 years in the restaurant industry, Raul knows what it means to think on his feet, connect with people quickly, and handle whatever comes his way with focus and composure. It is a background built on adaptability, communication, and resilience, all qualities that translate naturally into the world of product support.
For Raul, the move into tech is both a new chapter and a long-standing interest finally coming into focus. He has always been drawn to technology, problem-solving, and the process of leveling up, whether that means learning something new, taking on a challenge, or finding a better way forward. Now as a Product Support Associate at Cloudforce, Raul is excited to apply his people-first instincts and quick-thinking mindset in a field that continues to evolve.

Whether he is supporting customers, learning new systems, or collaborating with teammates, Raul is motivated by the opportunity to grow while helping others succeed.
Outside of work, Raul keeps that same momentum going. He is a huge fan of all D.C. sports teams and loves staying active through soccer, football, basketball, running, and anything else that keeps him moving. His family is from El Salvador, an important part of his identity and motivation, and he also enjoys following crypto and keeping an eye on what is next in the tech world.
Other fun facts about Raul:
What season would you be and why?
- If I had to choose a season, I’d be spring. I like spring because it feels like a fresh start! Everything starts waking up again, the energy changes, and it feels like the perfect time to reinvent yourself. Honestly, it almost feels like the new year should be in the spring.
What is one quote that stands out to you?
- One quote that really stands out to me is: “The only true wisdom is knowing you know nothing.” by Socrates. I love it because it’s humility disguised as strength! It reminds me that real confidence comes from staying open to learning. It also checks your ego in the best way. The moment you think you know everything is the moment you stop growing, and this quote always brings me back to staying curious and grounded.
What would be the most surprising scientific discovery imaginable?
- I think the most surprising scientific discovery would be finding an alien species from another planet that’s more advanced than us. Imagine seeing a civilization that has solved challenges we’re still struggling with and built things we can’t even dream of. It would completely change how we see ourselves and our place in the universe.
If you were a superhero, what would your power be?
- I’d be an Avatar because being able to bend fire, water, earth, and air would be insane. It’s basically four powers in one! You can defend yourself, travel, build, protect people, and adapt to any situation. It’s the perfect balance of power, creativity, and freedom. It’s like having the whole world at your fingertips.
If you had a time machine, would you go back or into the future? And why?
- If I had a time machine, I’d definitely go back to when I was a kid. Being a kid was priceless for me. I had a great childhood, I was always outside, and every day felt like an episode of Phineas and Ferb! It was just pure fun, adventure, imagination, and zero stress. I’d go back in a heartbeat just to relive that feeling again.
