Background
Senior Full-Stack Engineer with 10+ years across product, outsourcing, and freelance environments. Strong across backend, frontend, integrations, infrastructure, and production delivery.
My journey started with an online store I built for my father's business while I was still in high school. It brought in real customers, and that made software feel practical from the start.
I later earned degrees in law and engineering, but chose software as my main path. Since then I have worked across freelance, outsourcing, and product teams, delivering systems with Laravel, PHP, MySQL, WordPress, Vue.js, React, billing integrations, and cloud-based delivery workflows.
What matters to me most now is ownership: understanding the whole system, making it reliable in production, and keeping it maintainable over time. Outside work, I spend time in the gym, hike in the Spanish mountains, and keep a long list of Linux and hardware projects for later.
