01. About

Senior Software Engineer with 25+ years shipping production software, from cloud infrastructure and DBaaS platforms to distributed, high-availability systems. Recently I've architected multi-tenant cloud products on AWS/GCP, led the migration of a high-traffic marketplace to a decentralized Nostr architecture, and built automated verification systems validating shipped binaries against source code.

Earlier I founded and ran an IT consulting firm for over a decade, leading engineering teams of up to 6 for clients ranging from the National Bank of Spain to fast-moving startups.
