Backend software engineer at MerlinSoftware, contributing to Inditex’s Java 21 platform with hexagonal architecture.
SpainWhat I'm looking for
At MerlinSoftware, I contribute to an enterprise Java 21 and Spring Boot platform for Inditex, built around hexagonal architecture and domain-oriented design. Working with interconnected services has strengthened my approach to modular backend design.
At Kuik! and Tiralíneas, I developed and maintained PHP applications, modernized legacy Symfony systems, and worked on integrations and database performance. I value understandable, maintainable software and prefer to understand a system’s constraints before making the smallest reliable improvement.
