About

Engineer who speaks your language

Most engineers build first and explain later. I start by listening. I've spent years translating between technical teams and business stakeholders, turning messy problems into clear solutions. I speak English, Spanish, Catalan, and French.

Before going independent, I spent 3+ years at Morgan Stanley building full-stack applications. Now I help businesses in Barcelona and beyond get the technology they need without the jargon.
