The Engineer Who Speaks Human

20+ years of building cool things with great people. From precision electronics to distributed systems, I've learned that the best solutions come from curiosity, collaboration, and genuinely enjoying the journey.

What Makes Me Different

Hardware Foundation

My electronics background brings systematic thinking and precision to software. When you've designed 99.5% efficient power systems, you understand the importance of optimization at every level.

Global Perspective

9 years working internationally (Austria/Spain), pioneering remote work since 2017. I know how to build and lead distributed teams that deliver across time zones.

Team Alchemist

I create environments where people feel protected, accepted, and inspired. Teams I lead become brotherhoods— delivering their best work while having fun. From 3-month delays to on-time delivery through trust and motivation.

Continuous Learner

From electronics to software, with ventures into blockchain and beyond. Three patents. Currently focused on scalable backend systems and high-volume web scraping.

My Work Philosophy

🧱

First Principles

I decompose problems to their fundamental building blocks. This approach lets me go deeper than specialists.

🔗

Cross-Domain Thinking

Analogies between electronics, software, and systems create unique insights others miss.

🎯

Depth Through Breadth

Generalist who thinks like a specialist. Even experts consider me an expert—that's the power of fundamentals.

🐺

Pack of Wolves

I build teams where vulnerability is strength. No judgment, just support. People deliver their best when they feel safe.

"I'm not trying to be impressive. I just love building cool things and having fun with great people. When you genuinely enjoy the work and the team, the results take care of themselves."

It's really that simple. First principles thinking, cross-domain insights, building teams like packs of wolves— these aren't strategies. They're just what happens naturally when you're curious, care about people, and love what you do.

Beyond the Code

When I'm not architecting systems or leading teams, you'll find me kitesurfing along the Spanish coast, climbing mountains, or in my workshop bringing ideas to life with hobby machining.

Based in Andorra but working globally, I've been remote since 2017—long before it was trendy. I know how to deliver results regardless of time zones or distance.

Family man, continuous learner, and firm believer that the best solutions come from understanding both the technical challenge and the human need behind it.
