In 30 seconds

  • I ship products end to end. I designed, built and operate a production SaaS for music distribution used by 150+ independent artists, including payments, CI/CD security and AI-powered workflows.
  • I've done this before without code. I built and sold an e-commerce business, founded a live-music brand, and produced TV formats including Big Brother (Spain).
  • I'm going deep on fundamentals. At 42 Madrid I work in C/C++, Unix systems, concurrency, networking and containers, all through peer-reviewed projects.
  • I translate between worlds. I've spent 5 years teaching tech and business, and 20+ years working with clients, brands, artists and public administration.

Looking for: Product Engineer · Full-stack Engineer · Founding Engineer roles in SaaS, creator tools, internal platforms or applied AI.


Featured project: Distrify.me

A music distribution & marketing SaaS for independent artists in Spain and Latin America. I'm the sole engineer: product, architecture, code, deployment and support.

In production 3 years
Users 150+ artists distributing and getting paid through the platform
Role Founder, product owner, full-stack engineer, operator

Engineering highlights

  • Payments & credits on Stripe: idempotent webhook handling, retry logic and an audit trail, because money flows can't have "mostly works".
  • Security in CI/CD: automated OWASP ZAP scans in GitHub Actions on every deploy.
  • AI-assisted marketing flows: Claude API integrations that generate campaign assets for artists.
  • Designed for operations: support tooling, permissions, edge cases and traceability, beyond the happy path.

Stack: TypeScript · React · Next.js · Prisma · PostgreSQL (Neon) · Redis · Stripe · GitHub Actions · Vercel · Cloudflare

➡️ Architecture & engineering decisions · The codebase is private, and I'm happy to walk through it in an interview.


Business systems & automation

  • Odoo (Python): custom modules for invoicing, treasury, accounting and tax processes.
  • Verifactu: e-invoicing integrations for Spain's new anti-fraud invoicing regulation.
  • n8n: automations connecting CRM, email, campaigns and reporting.

Tech stack

Production daily TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Prisma, Stripe, GitHub Actions, Vercel
Solid Python (Odoo, backend), C, C++, Docker, NGINX, Redis, REST APIs, n8n
Along the way Excel/VBA → Unity/C# → C/C++ at 42 → TypeScript in production
AI Claude API in production. I use AI to explore, generate tests and review; architecture and validation stay with me.

What I bring beyond code

  • Product 0→1: I turn vague needs into flows, MVPs and products people actually use.
  • Clients & stakeholders: I've negotiated brand integrations for national TV, supported 150+ artists, and sold B2C and to public health administrations.
  • Team coordination: I've run TV production crews, concerts, festivals, tours, and the collaborators in my own companies.
  • Teaching & communication: I've taught digital marketing, business, programming and nutrition for 5 years. I explain technical concepts to non-technical people, and business needs to engineers.
  • International: I spent four years between Spain and the US touring with artists and designing for an independent record label.

How I work

  • Full ownership: problem → implementation → deployment → iteration.
  • Listen before building: I talk to users to decide what's actually worth building.
  • Design for real operations: I plan for exceptions, support, permissions and auditability.
  • Explain the why: I write docs and PRs that non-engineers can follow.

Let's talk. I reply to every message.
