Senior Full Stack Engineer (React, TypeScript, Node.js), 10+ years shipping web products. Physics background. Barcelona.
What I'm looking for
At Product School, I led the migration from a monolithic WordPress setup to a decoupled Next.js and Contentful architecture, including a two-way Salesforce sync. I also designed a relational content model and used webhooks to keep published content up to date.
I led end-to-end development of a passwordless student portal, designing and consuming REST APIs for authentication, profiles, subscriptions, and Stripe payments. I also helped create the enterprise design system, with component architecture, design tokens, accessibility standards, and Storybook documentation.
Earlier, I built accounting automation tools at Yuki Software and engineered a JavaScript plugin for AI-generated video previews at Vilynx AI. I bring a physics background and use AI tools in my daily workflow, with a focus on shipping code and making products work.
