I build things on the internet.
It started in Venezuela with some character-building first jobs. Embedded software, Windows CE, banking mergers, Blackberry apps. If you've never debugged Java on a Blackberry, congratulations, you lived a better life than me.
I moved on to 4Geeks, where I basically herded engineering teams across three cities and tried to get everyone to stop reinventing the wheel every sprint.
That led me to start Academia Hack a coding bootcamp where I taught hundreds of people to code. Over 60% got hired in tech, and I learned that running a school is just being a therapist, project manager, and cheerleader at the same time.
After the bootcamp chapter I packed up and moved to Spain — and somewhere between figuring out a new country and a new life, I picked up a camera and fell hard for photography. Turns out staring at light and composition all day rewires how you think about design. Who knew.
Then I built aurorajobs, a recruitment platform for university students — from zero to 20K+ users, four-person team, five years of nonstop shipping.
Somewhere in the later years I also started drawing weekly, and I haven't stopped in almost three years. It's my way of unplugging in a world where everything compiles or deploys.
These days I'm a Technical Lead at Lowfoot, an energy analytics platform where I run core APIs, infrastructure, and lead the web team across three continents. Lots of SvelteKit, lots of Kubernetes.
On the side I'm building MyPotential — an AI platform that helps Spanish high school students figure out what to do with their lives. Already demoing it in real Madrid classrooms, which is both terrifying and awesome.
I live in Madrid. I like small teams, shipping fast, and building things that solve real problems, and when I'm not doing that, I'm probably sketching or chasing good light with a camera.
If you got this far let's get a specialty coffee, it's on me! (I might know one or 10 amazing places)
