At Vivara.io, I built an AI-first engineering practice, taking it from zero to production with AI agents, developer copilots, and automated workflows. I also helped scale a multi-product rental platform across Spain, reaching more than 200 partnerships, 2,000 properties, and 20,000 tenants.

At Wallbox, I led more than 60 engineers across cloud software products in four markets, and helped scale traffic to 100 million requests per day. I also founded Exclia.com, designing, building, and launching an AI-assisted compliance SaaS with an audit-ready trail for staff and vendor checks.
