About Me

Senior Full-Stack Developer with over 25 years of experience, specialised in PHP/CakePHP/SymfonyPHP/Yii2, Node.js and Vue.js, with data architecture skills (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB, ElasticSearch) and DevOps (Docker, GitLab CI, Linux server administration).

I help startups, agencies and growing companies make technical decisions that save time, money and future headaches: I design the architecture from the start, lead technical teams and make sure deployments don't break what's already working.

I've founded a SaaS, led technical teams and built critical systems for over 2,000 users across sectors like digital health, business management and music content distribution.

I integrate AI practically into my daily work: LLMs and code assistants to accelerate development, autonomous agents, code reviews and automations with OpenAI and Claude models — as a real tool to multiply productivity, not as a trend.

I also collaborate with Braval, an NGO in the Raval (Barcelona) dedicated to education, sports and fighting the exclusion of young immigrants.
