Building systems
and the teams behind them.

My journey started in Madrid, where I studied Computer Science at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and was selected — on academic merit — to do R&D at Teldat SA. That early taste of real-world engineering, writing communication systems and patching Debian kernels, set the tone for everything that followed.

From Madrid I moved to the south of France to join Amadeus IT, where I spent six years across three teams. I designed reporting infrastructure used by American Express and Airplus, built PCI-DSS-compliant integrations, and delivered a proprietary algorithm for Japan Airlines that reduced ticket coupon computation from O(n!) to O(n³) — cutting response times from minutes to under 100ms.

After a stint in Edinburgh working on banking transaction pipelines, I joined the Merchant Partner Account Infrastructure team in Berlin. I grew from Senior Software Engineer to Engineering Manager, and today I lead a team of 8 building the critical systems that power payment integrations for 1,700+ merchants weekly — handling 1.4M+ requests per week through services I designed and still evolve.

The shift into management wasn't a pivot — it was an extension. The highest-leverage thing I can do is make the engineers around me more effective. I never stopped being an engineer; I just became a different kind.
