👋 Glad to have you here!

I'm currently working at Healx as a Principal Software Engineer. I am an active member and former organizer of Python Vigo, as well as a former organizer of PyConES 2024.

I love collaborating with the local tech ecosystem, regularly giving talks and workshops at A Industriosa and the VigoTech Alliance. Over the last couple of years, I've also been mentoring and collaboration with ANFAIA to help drive innovative AI projects.


🧠 Interests

As a software engineer, my day-to-day currently revolves around building and deploying AI agents, APIs, services, and data pipelines. I specialize in backend architecture, where I enjoy tackling complex problems and designing robust solutions that empower other teams—like data engineers and scientists to achieve their goals.

What drives me:

  • Solving real-world problems with practical solutions.
  • Wrangling challenging legacy systems into clean, maintainable code.
  • Collaborating within great teams and learning every single day.

I firmly believe that clear communication is the single most valuable asset for achieving any goal.

“Individuals and interactions over processes and tools.”

Oh, and as I mentioned, I love collaborating with the local community.


🎯 Goals for 2026

The mantra: Focus.

  • Stay focused: Protect my attention and don't let AI FOMO hijack it.
  • Keep leveling up: Continuously improve my technical and coding skills.
  • Deepen AI expertise: Master AI orchestration, harnessing techniques, and tools.
  • Give back: Continue actively contributing to the local tech community.

To hit that last goal, I aim to deliver a few more talks and workshops at Python Vigo and A Industriosa before the year wraps up.
