About Me

With over 10 years of experience, I am a versatile Staff+ Software Engineer and Technical Leader focused on startups and growth-stage companies. My expertise spans hands-on CTO and Founding Engineer roles, where I excel at leading cross-functional teams, managing product delivery, and designing resilient architectures across Web3, AI, Web, and Mobile domains. I specialize in backend (NestJS, Node.js), frontend (NextJS), and cloud (AWS) technologies, with a strong background in microservices, event-driven architectures, AI-driven automation, and multi-chain blockchain integrations. I am currently based in Barcelona and actively seeking high-impact remote roles.
