Software engineer and co-founder at Maiteego, building a live AI travel app from its Golang backend to Kubernetes infrastructure.

Spain

Message

At Maiteego AI, I built and operate Maiteego, a multiplatform AI travel app live on the App Store, Google Play, and web. I engineered its Golang backend and React Native app, including payments and support for iOS, Android, and web.

I brought the AI assistant into production with a LangGraph supervisor and five specialist agents. I verify cited places against real providers and rerun a benchmark harness when models or prompts change.

At Maiteego, I also built and operate the Kubernetes infrastructure, with GitOps deployments and an observability stack. On the founder side, I defined pricing, coordinated a team of five, and prepared a pre-seed round.

Before Maiteego, I worked on Bitnami catalog assets and internal observability tooling at VMware and Broadcom, and on release engineering at INDITEX. I also built a Golang backend at DEUS AI and led interns on an application applying machine learning to racing telemetry.
